What Does It Mean To Suffer

Agony that never seems to end Can’t find where one nightmare stops And the other begins The face in the mirror one I do not know So hollow inside, seamlessly cold Wracked with tears in a heap I lie Hopelessly broken, lost, beyond tried Barely surviving each second for breath After all what’s the point, I feel nothing is left Too blackened my sky to see the sun All that held this simple soul Has completely come undone You ask what does it mean to suffer I ask what does it mean to be free Life doesn’t offer a buffer To this damn wretched misery

to engage in breath is to suffer....because the pain of the flesh can't find cover....because all the heart desires is to truly remain pure....because through purity, there is no strife it can not endure....wonderful write Darla....;)
