Relieving Sorrow Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Falling into step with rhythms, looking within, seeing
scars of life hidden within my heart, soul ripped and
torn, no one ever knowing about it's suffering or pain.

Never telling anyone while it's happening, only writing
about it in the distance so it won't affect me, not hav-
ing the tears falling, showing hurt it's all causing me.

Relieving sorrow and tribulations through poetry, send-
ing them out into the universe to be forgotten, helping
to heal me interiorly.

No one ever knowing when I'm going through the pain of
loss and abandonment of love in my life until reading
about it some day in the future.
