Suffering














There are so many people suffering from chronic depression. It saddens me that they don't seek the professional help they so desperately need, because modern medications and therapy techniques can free them from their depression. I wrote Suffering as a wake up call to anyone who feels trapped with no way out.


Suffering

She suffered through a lifetime
Filled with grief and pain
Darkness that could never find a light
She sought to make life bearable
Tried time and time again
But now her soul had lost the will to fight

All the years of sadness
Consumed her will to live
She couldn’t find a way to make things right
Exhausted from her struggles
With no strength left to give
She pondered other ways to face her plight

Running out of options
Wanting it to end
The suffering had reached so great a height
A bottle filled with sleeping pills
Was then her only friend
She ended all her suffering last night
