Real Pain
I wake up and I ache
I move and I bleed
what am I?
get stabbed by the sun rays
and crack from the rain
can never get a decent night's sleep
feel leeches crawling inside my body
people stare and ask "what happened?"
have no choice but to tell them the truth
can't hide what's in plain view
hugs and kisses are a blend of ouch and ows
having to force a smile for everyone
can't let them see I'm always hurting
real pain is not only of the flesh
it's of the brain and heart too
everything that you should have
right in front for you to never touch
what am I?
I would really like to know
I move and I bleed
what am I?
get stabbed by the sun rays
and crack from the rain
can never get a decent night's sleep
feel leeches crawling inside my body
people stare and ask "what happened?"
have no choice but to tell them the truth
can't hide what's in plain view
hugs and kisses are a blend of ouch and ows
having to force a smile for everyone
can't let them see I'm always hurting
real pain is not only of the flesh
it's of the brain and heart too
everything that you should have
right in front for you to never touch
what am I?
I would really like to know

Love this .... know about sleepless nights where you can hear a pin drop from the other side of the world and thoughts loom large invading calm

Like living in a glass dome, you can see it all around you but you're isolated from it. That's deep pain.

Something about you that keeps you from more. I think many people know that pain in one way or another. Thanks for reading.

I wrote this about how a disorder of mine makes me feel. Kind of sucks when you have to live with something crappy for all your life. Could always be worse though.
