The Pain

Sorry, I went back to being sad

When I'm in emotional pain
Some things are easier
Some are harder
Everything is in reverse

The pain is both intense and searing
And dull and aching
It's easier to hold my breath
than labor the air in and out

The tears I cry so gently
Aren't enough to release how I feel
I blame myself for putting up with it
But I don't see that I have a choice

My head wants to explode
My heart wants to be torn out
My eyes sting with unshed tears
My mouth struggles to protect me

Once you've entered this world
There's no easy way out
You're trapped in the struggle
Until your love pulls you out

Author's Note

The world I mentioned is almost a metaphoric one. It's one you find yourself in, not the one we're all born into. Ignore grammar
