Write the Pain Away

I have a disease that no one can see

I'm trapped in my head and just want to be free

See my brain is sick, it wants to die

But if you ask me, this secret I'll always deny

I wanted to talk but how do I start?

I'm afraid that my pain will break your heart

If you saw on my arms the way I cope

You'd discover the scars and lose all hope

I waited for someone to understand

and found that voice in the form of a band

He sang of sorrow and the pain we hide 

but decided to take that all in stride

The lyrics were poems feelings so raw

They played on repeat as I sat in awe

I decided to try to find beauty in pain

So the writing began and took off like a train

My mind got quiet ceasing to rage 

As words began to fill the page

These works are dark, but they give me light

Reminding me never give up the fight

When I find my self lost now and again

I skip the razor and go for the pen
