I wish I could remember
I wish I could think of my thought
That I thought was important…
Important enough to share with others.
Our “hidden” illness/conditions
Put us in such an awkward position
We must present ourselves
In a strong manner to those around.
We dare not
Give in or let down
Our guard
For we fear
Our loved ones might see.
Yet…we cannot remember
We cannot complete
We cannot say
The sentence
Or question
That was on our tongue!
It is the frustration
It is the injustice
Of our conditions/illnesses!
We look completely healthy
Yet…if you could see….
The true part of us….
Our inner being….
Inside we are SICK!
Inside is a battle
That Science does not understand
No full knowledge is known
To explain why
We can appear SO fine
On the outside….
Yet!
Be so SICK inside!
