Giving In

The rainbow comes after the storm they say But my storms are ever lasting And my rainbows short-lived. I don't want to know how much I mean to the world, When the world means nothing to me. This constant stagnation of life is tiring And I have waited long enough To finally give in to the depths Of the shadows that call me in. To surrender to the temptation Of being set free from this chaos that torments me Is all I yearn for.

Your poem is a poignant reflection on despair and the longing for release from life’s relentless turmoil. It speaks to the soul’s weariness and the seductive pull of the shadows, offering a raw and powerful expression of the desire to find peace. - Blessings, Daniel
