A No Easy Tale

A No Easy Tale

It\'s not any easy
when you feel dizzy
when you\'re all wavy
In the absence of reasons

It might not be chronic
But it\'s definitely mild
the pains we feel
But we choose to be chill

When you hit the gym
you think it\'s all fat
we hope we\'d burn them
But just like every heart
It beats on instead

It don\'t matter how long
You just have to bear them
Some times we don\'t
You have to feel them, not for long
At least just once

It could be worse
But we hope it doesn\'t
We mourn our loss
But the pain continues
Against all odds

It\'s hard to tame
You could go insane
It\'s no easy story
It\'s hard to tell
The tale is scary

You stop at intervals
Swallow deep and continue
It could take hours
Difficult to construe
A no easy tale
