The Suffering Soul

Beneath my sorrow shines a light,

That sinks into the flames of my selfish pride,

A kiss from the shadows that follow my pain,

As I walk into eternity dragging my chains,

In my weakness I will always find,

The will to live is not just mine,

The pain I’ve caused to you my friend,

In my heart, it will never end,

So in my sorrow shines a light,

Teaching my soul how to fight,

And when the shadows call my name,

I whisper back, never in vain.
