Outward appearances misspeak
Showing health and vitality;
Inwardly rages a battle
Symptoms vying for position…
No scan, no image, no x-ray
Will show the culprit;
Pain, searing and stabbing
Has no visible face…
Only the hidden grimace
The silent groan;
Expressed in the heavy sigh
Or the slow deep breath…
A burden shared by few
When united find strength;
To find comfort and solace
In fighting the secret within…
