Poems Of Comfort In Your Time Of Need

By Tiffany Gill


Seeking shelter in the comforting arms of a loved one is easy to do, during difficult times. Often, people find themselves alone, without someone who truly understands the magnitude of their suffering. Perhaps they should consider reading poems of comfort.

Reading lyrics written by another who has endured similar dysphoria, can reassure even the most melancholy reader that they are not alone. By expressing their emotion and pain through the written word, their healing begins. For the pensive reader, they are able to feel that emotion as if it were their own.

Encompassing your inability to grieve, they begin the process of inner healing. They usually begin with the cause of your distress, whether it is the loss of a job, self worth, the loss of a family pet or a loved one. Perhaps you are still in denial regarding your loss. By allowing yourself to focus on the object of your grief, you allow yourself to feel your loss. You can not truly heal and move on, if you do not allow yourself the ability to grieve.

These insightful compositions will encourage you to move forward, through the paths of sadness and anger. They will give you confidence to continue your journey, by drawing on your emotional adherence. By bringing the suffering inside and allowing it to present itself itself at your own pace. Thus, encouraging you to push through your heartache one day at a time.

A sonnet of bargains is one full of emotional pleas for the circumstances to change. If only you could go back and make things different, knowing full well that the bargaining will not change the course of your grief. For that brief moment, it makes it seem almost possible that if you make the right promises, you could change the past and make your pain vanish.

The uniqueness of depressive poetry is that you are alone in your suffering. You may feel that you are alone and that you are clearly the only person who has ever felt devastation such as this. These compositions present the pain of the writer into words that substantiate your depression. Once you feel that you have been understood, you are able to see more clearly the way to work through the obstacles.

Lyrics of acceptance find you in a more responsive place. You find solace in the written word. You have come to the realization that, although you have suffered great loss, your life will continue to move forward. Yes, you will still feel the sting of loss. But, you will also be comforted in knowing that someone else has walked through this same process and has also found their acceptance.

Succor often begins with reading the lyrics that others, who have walked this path before you, have written. Immerse yourself in the strength of their compassion. Feel their sorrow, watch as they face their loss, as they gain acceptance of things out of their control, as their own personal dysphoria disappears while they regain their resolve. Discover peacefulness that can only be found through poems of comfort.
