My Inner Soul

All pain is no gain

As the very familiar saying goes

I'd just wished that somebody could take all my pain away

Because I am running out of excuses to tell them

Knowing I can't tell them the real truth

And express my inner anxiety like I really want to

People moving away from me it's really sad you see

I know it's because they don't want to get what I have

So that feeling is mutual plus it's understandable

I feeling like I am chained up and sinking to the bottom

Of a bottomless black sea that's so black that I can't

See my very own hand in front of my face

The doctor's are saying that they are trying

To figure out what's wrong with me

But hell to them my inner voice says from within my head

That isn't good enough I want to know now

Because for five months now it might be even longer

I haven't been able to be the real me

The normal ordinary me when I am not sick

Instead day after day month after month I put on a fake smile

And try to act normal and do everyday tasks when I can't

Because my body feels weak and my chest constantly hurts

And my brain feels like a big giant bowl of water melting away

And my thoughts come and go as well as my appetite

Like the tides on a beach clouding my mind and judgement

Like the fog that just suddenly rolled in

But I trudge on like the brave little solider that I am

And keep up the facade of normality despite how much pain I am in
