Trust the Pain

Some view peace as a soft, soothing rain,
Others, as a mere illusion.
All the while also hearing the song of struggle.
I align myself with those who bear the weight of pain.
If peace was meant to find its way,
I have watched enough broken dreams
To learn that voices long silenced by shame
Are strong enough,
And deserve to be heard.
