My Pain

My Pain

My pain is not me,
but sometimes it tries to consume me.

I fight the fight,
I join the battle,
But I never seem to win.

It swallows me whole,
It eats me up,
Oh, the pain I'm in.

I try obvious attacks,
I try surprise attacks,
But never find a weak spot.

My allies give up,
They run out of ideas,
Once again I'm left to rot.

Inside I'm weak,
So I hide behind a mask,
That other's don't see.

I remain a target to random questions,
Their curiosity is all that makes them ask me.

The world goes on while I'm still fighting,
I try to act normal,
but I'm unsolvable.

I fight my fight and get straight a's,
Those who don't know me,
find it phenomenal.

I want to live my life perfectly normal,
But I know that won't ever happen.
Some say I'll be cured,
But I've given up hope, slowly moving on.

I don't see what they do, but I know one thing for sure,
Live your life to the fullest.
Never let anything stand in your way, in order to go on.

I may not always see what I'm supposed to,
But one thing is clear,
I'm just a simple girl constantly in pain,
Who doesn't always let it consume her.
