Someone asked me once how I do it...
How do I live with so much pain?
They asked me 'Will it ever go away?'
And I didn't know what to say...
I wanted to tell them that it's not easy and it won't ever go away...
Either it grows and festers inside of you,
So much so, that it consumes you and becomes the end of you
Or you learn to live with it...
You learn how to survive with it.
It becomes a part of you that you can't ever be rid of...
It's like a ghost constantly following you around,
And you know it's there you can feel it following you..
Watching your every move within the shadows...
It tries to catch you at your worst, so it can drown you
You learn how to keep it at bay...
How to keep it under control of sorts...
For it is like a wild beast that can't be tamed...
But with every broken memory, every fragmented flashback...
The beast, ghost, demon, or monster tries to take control
It tries to overpower you because it wants you weak,
Just so it can feast.
