its a daily struggle you don't wake up one day and the pain is gone you have to fight it away every single time you breathe and whilst doing that, you also have to smile because you can't let people know just how helpless you are you can't let people realize that you're weak because they'll use it against you they always do so you put on a brave face and mock your own pain in the hopes that it will throw them off the scent of your bleeding body and the truth is, in all honesty, you need so much more help that you let people understand. you're taking painkillers when your body doesn't hurt which is ironic, because i suppose this means you're sicker than you thought.
