In the echoes of recurring pain,
A silent plea, tears like rain
Pillow and prayer mat, witnesses to my fears,
God, do You sense my unspoken tears?
I ponder my actions, seeking a reason,
Told to endure, to strengthen in this season
Yet, it's tough as they persist, relentless strife,
Bullying shadows, haunting my life
Day to night, a relentless spree,
Why, oh why, won't they let me be?
Innocent heart, untouched by spite,
Yet, their words cut, a relentless fight
Sickened by their venomous decree,
Aching soul, yearning to be free
Just words, they say, but a piercing shot,
Wounds unseen, the pain won't clot
I extend kindness, but bitterness I meet,
In this cruel dance, I find defeat
Undeserving of this torment, I plea,
Yet, it persists, this dark decree
A prisoner of their callous game,
How to escape, I don't dare to name
Drowning in silence, night after night,
Asleep, yet haunted by the plight
My cries echo silently, unheard,
In the vast abyss, my voice interred
