Song Of Sorrow Poem by Shakilla Akmal

Beneath the moon's soft and eerie gleam
I confide secrets, kept in a hidden scheme
This inner ailment, my weight to endure
Concealed from loved ones, in misery, I'm sure

Conversations strained, words I can't convey
The pressure building with each passing day
Suffocating thoughts, they never cease
A cage of despair, my heart's release

Exhaustion consumes, a relentless tug
I yearn to escape, break free from this lug
Their sadness may linger, but it's my plea
To find solace in darkness, to finally be free

Though tears may flow, when I finally depart
This choice offers respite, a brand-new start
For if I linger, the sadness will cling
A lifetime of mourning, a bird with a broken wing

For in this darkness, I see the light
An escape from endless, sorrowful night
In this choice, I find release
An end to sorrow, a darkened peace
