Swallowing pain,
Drowning in internal tears,
As they fill a bitter lake within,
That has existed for several years.
This dam of emotions,
It's wall built of will,
Slowly it's structure weakens,
Threatening a disastrous spill.
Difficulty in accepting help,
My trust in others shattered,
Afraid of being stabbed in the back,
As if I never really mattered.
So I fight alone,
My internal pain,
As it consumes me completely,
Slowly driving me insane.
