Pain From Within

The pain I speak of is not from the skin Its something worse, it comes from within Its absolute torture, I shall now tell In description, my personal Hell. My lungs are without any air My heart swells, and feels like it tears My stomach is hollow, feels like stone I feel empty, I feel like I am alone My ribs, crushed by an unseen weight This pain caused by my very own fate My muscles weak, I am without a soul I find myself buried in my own hole I am rotting away from inside out I will be an empty shell without a doubt Someone please save me from my distress Look at me, I’m obviously a mess

Nice expression of pain. Pain is helpful, it is a sign that something is wrong. "There are no gains without pains" Thanks for sharing. Dalila
