I’ve had chronic pain for most of my life and I recently found out that I have Fibromyalgia. I wrote this during a really bad flare. I was in a lot of pain and in a really bad mood.
I’m locked up inside of myself
No one understands me but me
And sometimes I don’t even know myself
I put up a front and I hide my fear
You’ll never see me cry
You’ll never see my tears.
I don’t like to be weak; l want to be strong
But I’ve had this pain for way too long.
It’s breaking me down…all the way down
Every day it gets harder to hide this frown.
Every day it gets harder just to be me.
