Mend the Soul, Save the Sorrow

Pressure pounds your mind and soul
Relief at all costs, your only goal
A promise of solace, an end to your pain
Cascades more misery, no reward, no gain

In this false escape to find your peace
Is an illusion profound, not a sweet release
A path of loud whispers to end the strife
Stealing your strength to fight for life
