Living In The Pain

Pain wakes me nightly  

Cold breath lingering  

Shadows press inward  

Heart beats heavier  

Silence becomes company  

Grief shapes mornings  

Memories cut deep  

Hope feels distant  

I walk hurting  

Steps drag slow  

Days blur together  

Nights burn louder  

Still I rise  

Broken but breathing  

Carrying quiet strength  

Holding fragile light

Living in pain  

Is still living  

Even shattered souls  

Learn stubborn survival
