A Solitary Sorrow

A Solitary Sorrow

She needed space, a moment's peace

A chance to breathe, to let her heart release

The weight of grief, the pain she'd bear

But they couldn't understand, with love beyond compare

She needed to grieve, in her own way

To find solace in the darkness of each day

But they never took the time to see

The depths of her sorrow, the complexity

They'd offer words, a gentle hand

But she needed silence, a quiet stand

A chance to process, to heal and mend

Without the pressure, the expectations to amend

She yearned for understanding, a gentle ear

A space to grieve, without a speck of fear

But it was hard, to find her place

In a world that moved, with a different pace

So she'd step away, into the night

And let her tears, fall like the light

For in the solitude, she'd find her way

Through the darkness, to a brand new day.

Omatee Ann Marie Hansraj
