When pain and hurt are physical, and you have to wait for wounds to heal,
Spare a thought for those whose illness, leaves a hurt you cannot feel,
It's easy to see when cuts can be stitched and to plaster bones that are broken,
But how do you begin to heal the sick, when the only treatment is spoken,
When our minds are racing with thoughts of things we cannot understand,
And all we want to stop the pain is a way out dealt by our own hand.
A day will come when all of this will seem a lifetime away,
As your busy life returns to its routine every day,
It's an endless road for us, a cure nowhere to be found,
All we can do is manage our moods and live within our bounds,
The strong amongst us will battle on to thrive and continue to grow,
Alas for some of us the end of the tunnel is a light we will never know.
I hope these words offend no one, my intentions are purely good,
I want to show how easy it is for us to be misunderstood,
For we fight our inner demons, with as much strength as we can find,
And sometimes we cannot say out loud the way we feel inside,
If we appear to be ignoring you and tend to stay out of touch,
It's not because we want to, it's because we are hurting too much.
