I Wish

I wish....

I wish you could see the pain inside of my happy smiling face
Like no pain that should be felt these days
In modern human race

I wish my pain could paint a picture, 
Colours shouting red and black 
I wish that you could feel the heat
As fireworks spark my aching back

In neck the burn is squeezing
Cheekbones and temples glow
The burn turns in to freezing
Teeth and jaw as cold as snow

To rest my head on softest pillow 
Akin to lying on brick
The pulse so angry in my head is making me feel sick
If I dare to try and move, just rise to sit or stand
The pressure it takes over
So lie back down before I land

My neck so tired so weak now
And blurry eye sight goes
I wish you could just see inside me 
Crown of head to aching toes.

Good job of expressing the physical or emotional pain many people are hiding. If your own life was the inspiration, I hope things get better soon.
