Pain Will Perish

Pain led me to a funeral one day To a coffin, where a lifeless body lay Still as my heart when I neared his face That once wore a smile, once found, now lost without a trace The pain struck me like lightning when the sight of death reflected in my eyes Then all that I heard for days were the echoes of my cries I was about to leave the memory months later, with tears dripping on the floor With screams of sorrow, a torn apart soul Until…I felt fire begin to burn the anguish in my heart Rip the blanket of darkness and pain apart Replace death with life, darkness with light Eradicating every chain in sight The cries were slowly deafened by screams of hope Roaring, “I can go through this, pierce through the burden in my soul!” The image of the body is still etched in my mind But this time, the memory fuels the will to leave the tears behind Pain prepare to PERISH! Internal Death, DREAD YOUR END! You won’t haunt me any longer, once all my scars mend! Surely, Sorrow will not laugh last For strength will overcome, and blur the past Today, a year later, I feel freedom in my veins No longer do I sense Suffering and Pain For Strength led me to a funeral today To a coffin, where Pain and Sorrow lay
