it's that feeling of helplessness.
of not knowing how far you can go
without breaking down and crying.
it's diffucult to gadge whether or not you
can push yourself to that certain point.
it's that sound of cracking
that erupts to your ears that proves
the theory that what going on with your body is wrong.
it's not supposed to happen;
it's not supposed to happen to me.
this all wasn't meant to shut me down.
i was supposed to stumble and fall
then rise up and defeat the pain.
but it has other plans.
i will not rise up
i will not get back up
i will just fall deeper into this never ending
escape.
i can't fight the pain,
it's everywhere i tread towards.
walking
standing
running
having fun.
it's never easy to fight a parasite
that has latched onto your heart and soul.
it is making me weaker each day,
but i made a promise to myself that
i would never lose hope when the pain
clouds over my reality of surviving in this world.
