Pain
Eats at my very soul
Heart beats hard exploding in my brain with each thump
Pain
No one can understand unless they have been here
My mind screams with the unfairness of it all
Pain
It eats away at your confidence in self first
I was a strong minded woman now weak without strength
Pain
It can't be described as it rips through the body
Wholes are throughout leaving tunnels along the connective tissue
Pain
Detroying that which makes me unique
Takes away my wisdom as the tunnels weaken the mind
Pain
Leaving fear in places that used to be fearless
Alone as the demons remove my self worth
Pain
Creeps its way into the heart eating at the good as well as the bad
Heart skipping beats as it begins to lose its ability to beat
Pain
Works against every positive thing one has in life
Taking away my ability to stand on my own two feet making me dependent
Pain
Chews and feeds until it overuns the mind and body
Nothing left to help me fight even my will has been chewed away
Pain
Left to finish the job as no one notices before it is to late
I cry for help yet the vileness fills my throat and mouth making it impossible
Pain
Takes everything away, then heads to the next victim
I am left lifeless, no strength, energy, no will to live, fight, or breathe,
If only I had noticed sooner when that first seed was planted
I wish I had paid more attention to the weird things I noticed
Now I can no longer survice for the pain has won
Please I beg you, do not let it happen to you
FIGHT
FIGHT
FIGHT BACK!*
Don't let it win
Don't find yourself in a huge lifeless formwanting to escape with no outlet
For heaven's sake fight for your life beat the pain take its power away
I will be buried soon and the pain will try to skip to another person
Put up your defenses around me and don't let it in destroy it while it is trapped inside of me
Pain
It is a scarey way to go, save yourself from the pain
Eats at my very soul
Heart beats hard exploding in my brain with each thump
Pain
No one can understand unless they have been here
My mind screams with the unfairness of it all
Pain
It eats away at your confidence in self first
I was a strong minded woman now weak without strength
Pain
It can't be described as it rips through the body
Wholes are throughout leaving tunnels along the connective tissue
Pain
Detroying that which makes me unique
Takes away my wisdom as the tunnels weaken the mind
Pain

Alone as the demons remove my self worth

Heart skipping beats as it begins to lose its ability to beat
