Every night I toss and turn
This pain inside, so hard to discern
People tell me I should just move on
But they don't realize how much I've been withdrawn
I've tried writing out my feelings on paper
But it seems like my pain will never taper
In therapy, they taught me to breathe in breathe out and meditate
But it's hard to feel at peace with all this weight
So sometimes I turn to Mary J
For a moment of relief, to chase the pain away
But even that can't overcome the sting
Of this unforgettable suffering
I hate feeling weak and exposed
But it seems like that's the only clothes
That people see me wear each day
As I try to find my strength and push the pain away
