Inner Pain the Hardest To Bear

Pain comes in its many forms
some short-lived others to penetrate
but that pain externally so unfelt
it's so deep within, an unknown date

When asked where is it found?
one can't say so it's just a hurt
you want released from this throb
wish it was a mark like a piece of dirt

One opens its mouth nothing appears
the dryness of one's tongue zero come
so hard to bear what can you do?
just this pain unknown not even a crumb!

This painless pain keeps repeating itself
with no escape route at all in view
you try to avoid every time asked to speak
but words look far gone whatever you chew

But tomorrow is a brand new day
live in hope that something will change
been saying this for all my earthly days
now to speak clear really that be strange!

(My inner pain of no words to utter when you want to utter them.)

Any negative thing which is of self always comes out the worst... Most suicides committed have a thing or two to do with inner pain. Great write brother. Happy 2019
