Pain Is Heavy

There is this weight pulling at me
It's trying it's best to hold me down
It's making me feel as though I'm alone 
Even when there are people around 

I wish that it would go away
Somehow disappear and let me be
But that seems to be a wasted wish
It refuses let loose of its grip on me

I'm having to learn to live with this
It's a task that may be impossible 
Always fighting through the pain 
Is a chore that's become unbearable 

I only want to find some way
To get out from under this
To rid myself of all this pain 
That's hidden me in this abyss
