RELATIONSHIP Poem: Suffering, by M. Haseeb Khan

In the depths of despair, suffering does reside,
A shadow that follows, where hope cannot hide.
It lurks in the darkness, like a cunning thief,
Stealing peace and joy, causing endless grief.
It haunts the broken hearts, with its icy touch,
Leaving scars and wounds, that hurt so much.
It wears down the spirit, with relentless force,
Draining all strength, leaving no remorse.
Suffering, a silent companion in our strife,
Testing our resilience on the journey of life.
It comes in many forms, like a cruel disguise,
A relentless storm, where tears fall from our eyes.
In times of hardship, suffering seems endless,
A relentless tide, an abyss so bottomless.
But within each trial, there lies a hidden thread,
A glimmer of strength, waiting to be fed.
For suffering teaches, in its own painful way,
To cherish the sunshine, on the darkest day.
It builds resilience, hones our inner might,
Transforming us into warriors who embrace the fight.
So let us not cower, or let suffering define,
But rise up with courage, love as our lifeline.
For in the depths of struggle, we learn to rise,
With hearts that are stronger, and eyes that are wise.
Suffering may linger, but it does not define,
The essence within us that’s forever divine.
With hope as our ally, and love as our guide,
We’ll conquer the suffering that tries to hide.
