Unwell

Pain n' suffering each n' every day,
Pasting on a smile...
Just to push a disguise,
Never truly knowing the pain I actually go through...
Truly, unwise....
Pretending all is ok n' well,
Just never knowing the actual, is a shell... 
Mostly... unwell,
Fully suffering in pain...
Not just my body,
Not just my head...
My heart, the constant ache of needing more...
Praying for others to just, "understand"
Begging for the higher powers,
To just "take it all away"...
No longer wanting to push through another day,
I truly don't know how to make it another way...
I sit n' cry,
Truly wondering... Why?
Permanently damaged...
Now I ask, how do I manage?
