Your Pain My Pain

Chronic pain is a darkness, personally endured Persistently battled, for suffering's ensured It's constant plague preys on the mind, goading your torment like misery designed Not long ago agility was free, now the price is too high for a defeated body The inner-self suffers from deep scars too With pity and sorrow there, swallowing your truth So a quiet despair lives deep inside, oppressing desires for a life that's denied No one understands unrelenting pains skill, to take a life's worth It's essence, to kill It's faithfully consistent, at a cruel steady pace ruthlessly taking, once dignities place The depression and anguish won't free you, you're sure so you can't see recovering, to be who you were No one perceives, or grasps the extent So you won't share your agony, complain or vent For someone's wise words can't understand or feel, that comparing or blaming won't give power to heal And to support a response, from them, a hard sell They can't fathom this feeling, your existence in hell In 'your' mind it's a place, they'll never be This burden, this pain, they'll never see It's really so sad and torturous to see, someone unwilling to try, to be free We all have our circle of pain to endure, to think your alone is ignorance or... martyr To reach out for help or advice to improve is the only way to sanity this life to live through If lucky, eyes will open and like words of a poet You'll see through deaths eyes, so realize and know it Things are their best now, for they'll only get worse Must figure it out, before your journey's end curse There are others who suffer but still carry on knowing their time left is going to be gone Work through your battle, to win over, by then Take mind over matter, like its something you bend Do what you need to and get out of bed for soon, the matter won't mind... All your pain will be dead
