The Pain Will Soften

I can hear your thoughts
Going through your mind
Shouting so loud 
Like an alarm 

Wondering how to make it through the night
Crying and tired of the struggle 
Screaming through pain 
Wondering if the pain would end

I know how you're feeling
I once had loud thoughts
I once was afraid of the night
I once wondered if this pain would ever end 

But I learned the pain doesn’t end 
It softens

The pain will soften  
The alarm will become quieter 
The flooded tears will  ease 

I know it sounds like a lie
You don’t have to believe me 

Just don’t give up 
I didn’t give up 

This is a reminder that in those heavy times, the pain will soften. When we are in the dark, hurting, it feels heavy now, and it feels like forever, but that pain will feel lighter as we keep fighting. Not giving up makes us stronger and, in the end, alive because we survived. We are stronger, and we are not giving up.
