Cordolium #AtoZChallenge #NaPoWriMo #WednesdayVerses
Behind the facade,
Of my usual self,
I carry with me,
The heavy burden of pain.
Things seem alright to the world,
But pain runs through,
Every part of my soul.
I can't let go of the pain,
Because I'm not holding on to it.
They say time heals,
But it doesn't.
The wound appears to have healed,
But the scars remain.
Bleeding all over again,
As memories resurface again.
Cordolium : Heartfelt grief, Sorrow of heart
Language : Latin
I’m participating in the A to Z Challenge and the National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo) . I’m trying to weave poems around unusual words or words from other languages that have no substitutes in English.
Welcome to #
Prompt for this week is “Pain”
Heartfelt and something I think everyone has felt at some point in their life in this day and age.
Yes, we all go through this at one time or the other. Thanks for reading!
It is sad that such a beautiful word has such a poignant meaning!
We all go through this phase. Not every wound heals, not every pain dissipates. We just learn to live around it, that’s it.
Yes, the word sounds so beautiful yet the meaning is such a sad one.
I like this word though it means such profound sadness. Some wounds really cut deep.
Indeed! That is why I selected this one though it meant pain. Thanks for reading.
The poem sounds so sad. Why so much pain? Can you not be happy? Is there no happiness around?
The poem is inspired by the word. We all go through pain at some point in our lives. Hence the poem.
I love how you’ve strung together these words so beautifully, Reema. They touched my heart.
Thank you Mayuri! 🙂
Relatable theme for most of us..
Indeed!
I just loved this one. Behind the facade of my usual self, I carry the heavy burden of pain.”
Thank you! 🙂
