THE STRANGER:A BODY BETRAYED

In fragile flesh,a war rages on, A silent scream,a heart undone. The stranger within,a pain to bear, A reflection worn,through all the months. Eyes red,swollen from unshed tears, Mascara rolls down,revealing fears. Mouth closed tight,yet screams echo within, Unspoken words,unexplainable pains. Heart racing,head pounding in pain, Hands shaking,feet tingling unable to sustain. Joints ache,stomach churns with each blow, Shoulders misaligned,neck loses its glow. Spine throbs,soul slowly withers away, Mind loses grip,fading day by day. A slow descent,day by night, A heavy burden,an unending strain. Body creeps,day and night, The ache within,a constant guest. Groaning and melting every seconds, The distress in muscle's fibres,a lot to harbor. "Hey you!,"she cries to the pain within, "Don't you rest? Free me,let me breathe again." Tears streaming down,she pleads for reprieve, But the stranger persists,so unkind. Each step,a struggle, Each breath,a moan. Every step,a test of will unknown, Maybe that's the agony the body desires. "I'll be fine again,"she whispers low, A promise to herself,a heart that won't give in. For amidst this pain,a strange solace lies, A glimmer of hope,she must confess.
