Suffering
Such a complicated word,
for when do you truly suffer?
Is it when you hear your parents fight,
or when you cry yourself to sleep at night?
Is it when you grieve a loved one gone,
or give up everything before it’s begun?
Perhaps suffering cannot be seen with common eyes,
for it hides itself beneath a soft disguise.
Or maybe it’s the weight of being alone,
that makes suffering the only thing that you've ever known.
