Pain
\nBlinding
\nExcruciating
\nImpossible to breathe
\nImpossible to speak
\nPain
\nFrom my lungs
\nTo my heart
\nOnly feeling left
\nOf being tore apart<\/p>\n
And yet
\nWhen asked if
\nI was okay
\nI said yes
\nYes I am
\nMore afraid of
\nWorrying them
\nOf being a
\ncumbersome presence
\nThan of the vision of death<\/p>\n
I should have said no
\nNo, I am not okay
\nI need help
\nBut regrets don’t, can’t
\nChange the past
\nSo here I am
\nAfter everything
\nPracticing to be honest
\nTo tell them
\nYes\u2026 I am in pain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
