Sometimes I can't even talk
And want to be left alone
With my own thoughts
Other times I don't want to be on my own
I want someone to hold me
Make me feel safe, at home

Sometimes I can barely walk
I stay in bed all day
Hoping the pain will go away
Other times I fight it and carry on
Even though I know it might bring a flare up on

The pain is crushing
Sharp, shooting pains strike me
A thousand pins stab me
I am so sore
Burning like fire, so raw
I wonder
How much longer
I can carry on

I'm trapped in this nightmare
It's so unfair
The pain is tiring
I can't think straight
The pain is distracting
I can't concentrate
I try to escape
There's no way out
