Have you ever noticed, how you try to explain the pain away, but they can't hear it?

To away the pain, you explain, to help them; make them understand.

But why? They don’t want to know, so why do it? Is it really their fault? Is it their pain that you relay back to them, again, and again, and again? Of course it’s not,

so why can’t you stop?

It’s not that you’re looking to blame for this pain, you just want it away, out from your brain, until the pain is finally gone - please go away,

let it be over.

But you still think that it’ll help, to explain the pain, to help them; make them understand; until they can’t stand you anymore.

You push them away, with your pain that you try to explain, in the hope that it’ll save you, but it doesn’t, not really, so what do you do?

You work to control it, to manage the pain that you try to explain, in the hope they’ll stay and you haven’t lost them - or yourself.

It’s easier said than done, but you’re the one, who can push the pain that you want away from your brain; it just takes time to heal,

but it will….
