Is time really the healer of all pain
Does pain really ever go away
These questions ponder in my brain
And the pain seems to want to stay

It eats at you like a cancerous cell
The thoughts linger in my mind
Things I need not dwell
However, peace I cannot find

A battle against my sanity
Nobody is fighting but me
Yearning for sweet serenity
Longing to release this pain and be free

To you my happiness might be real
I wear my mask just right
To hide the sadness that I feel
To mask the internal fight

The pain is so surreal
Feeling numb inside
I wish this wasn’t real
This pain I wish to hide
