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
