Suffering

Be it physical or emotional

Perceived or real

Can be debilitating

---

Feeling as if one

Is being shattered

Into pieces

Respiration getting louder, heart pounding harder

---

As one begins to look around

One sees that pain everyone is carrying

Deep inside their eyes

Able to share a special connection

---

Everyone we meet

Is battling their own battle

Just remember

The lows allow us to dig deeper into ourselves
