Struggles

                                                                    You are in this alone

No one else can know

The pain you feel

 

People look at you

And think to themselves

There is nothing wrong with them

 

But they can’t see the inside

The struggle every day,

Of getting out of bed

 

There is no understanding

Of what you are going through

Because they can’t see it at all

 

Can’t see the brain fog

Or the MS hug

Which is not a friendly one at all

 

They don’t see the fact,

That your body is heavy

And feels like led

 

They complain about their pain

And say you wouldn’t know,

What pain is like
