Your secret pain

Your secret pain 
By Michelle Morris

Your secret pain
Is not a secret to me
It is known and it is felt
Ever so deeply 

The raw edges of sorrow 
The grief that you try to numb 
The rage and guilt and depression 
It almost makes you come undone

When you're tripping over words
When you're hiding out inside 
When you're irritable and silent
When you're showing your darker signs 

Remember that you're human
You're not meant to shine always 
You can express your deepest feelings 
Without fear of being judged or shamed 

This doesn't give you carte blanche 
To trample over others 
Nor does give you permission 
To hurt or spread the Darkness bubble 

Love and Kindness can be shown
No matter what our situation 
To ourselves and those around us
We hold the Light and Hope and Faith 

Remember that your secret pain 
Doesn't have to remain locked inside 
You have to set the Darkness free 
So you can overcome this in time

The raw edges of sorrow will heal
The grief will scar over in time
The rage and guilt and depression 
Will become part of lessons and rhymes

You'll find the words to say
You'll no longer hide from the world 
You'll step into the Light and breathe 
You'll know Peace and Love unfurled 

Remember that you're a powerful Soul
Nothing can dim the Light of your Divinity 
You're here to experience Lessons and Blessings 
Transmute all Darkness to Light infinitely
