I was prescribed many different things to help ease the pain.

When will I be ok?They all tell me “time” is all it takes.

I’ve been feeling a little ok.

But I still have a cast around It to protect It as I heal.

I’ll never forget how much hurt It’s caused me.

Everybody know’s I’ve been going through some things.

It’s harder to socialize.

I try and emphasize that i’m normal..

Every word said feels like a metal chain whipping at my skin.

Every moment,Every Second,Every hour.

Harder to get better.
