Just because you can smile
or open your eyes or get out of bed
doesn't mean you don't experience
the worst pain possible.
Spend time in pain scale rating 10
for too long, you become a 0.
When that happens,
you run out of reasons to cry,
run out of breaths to hold,
run out of emotions to show.
These are times when you get out of the house
not because you feel well
but because the house doesn't feel home,
when you function because you need distractions,
when you smile because you don't want attention.
On times like these, when you are at 0,
you don't need to be asked why.
You just left 10, you don't want to be back again.
