Raw Pain

Psalm 69:3 ~ "I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God."


tears fall broken
pain unspoken
dealing feelings raw
tears can't drown
my anguish down
lachrymal guffaw

eyes bleary
soul weary
emotions run high
enveloped by sadness
bleakness and blackness
life's a teary dreary sigh

A moving poem Joanna, raw pain is something we all experience at times, yet time heals and then better one feels… Beryl

Life isn't always easy Joanna and we encounter many obstacles on the way, but we must not give up on hope, how great will our reward be in the next life. Tom
