Trials Poem by Stanley Oguh

Trials



I feel like I'm drowning in these so
many sorrows,
It's so dark now; will I be able to
find tomorrow?
I'm finding it so hard to breathe
when I'm feeling hollow,
trying to run so far away from the
devils that follow.
Life is a climb and I don't think I can
climb anymore,
the rope is burning my hands and
they now feel sore.
I can't feel the strength in my arms
to open a new door,
I want to give up and just go back
to the way it was before.
I feel suffocated, under these
burdens I am subjugated,
too many trials to face and
tribulations cultivating.
The rhythm in my heart is now only
fluctuating,
losing it's melody to darkness, the
poetry is undulating.
Life isn't always dark and gloomy as
stories tell,
there isn't just tribulations or a
destination of hell.
There is purity to be found under
the darkness,
and even love under all of the pain
that we felt.
There is light that appears at the
rise of the shining sun,
and one glance of it will cause us to
forget why we run.
Hell isn't the only place to exist;
there is a haven above,
Heaven we call it, the truest
sanctity of blessings and love.
To find the good we must face and
fight the bad,
No matter how hard it may be but
tests are to be had.
It is to prove you are deserving of
peace and bliss,
Of such a life to live that never
again shall you be sad.
