Chronic

Waking moments feel like eternity, When pain swallows the serenity, Everyday life is no longer the same, "You seem to have Chronic pain" Doctors can't find the cause or solution, I cry and scream, Who is there to blame, Not everything can be proven, but not everyone believes, "Its nothing but laziness", I scream mercy but they are all merciless, Chronic pain, Feeling shame, Takes me away, From the ones I love, The person I was feels like a shadow, The person I am now feels like a husk, Chronic, makes me feel stuck, The words "Are you okay?" makes me feel sick to my stomach, So I put on a smile and lie, and say I'm fine, its just "chronic".
