Hidden pain

Sleep deprivation body torn apart living with this constant pain is tearing me apart.

Crying out in anger crying out in sorrow topping up with painkillers 
Hoping that I can sleep and be okay tomorrow.

I have physical scars that everyone can see scars of every kind 
But the scars that hide away are the scars hiding in my mind.

I try to hide them all away in the reassess of my mind and hope that the night that comes will be a little kind.

But this just wishful thinking and I’m living in a dream the pain that is haunting me only lets out a silent scream.

So I will face the days ahead and suffer this with my pain 
Looking for a miracle cure so I my sleep again.
