So much worry and strife she struggles with
Standing in church boldly singing God’s praise
Her faith carrying her through tribulations
Strength from when her eyes to Heaven raised
From the outside her pain is invisible
She bears the burden deep within
Her anguish caused by the ones she loves
They smile at her and yet still they pretend
The damage there will continue to build
Mentally and physically she will suffer
Her health declining with each passing day
Though she still believes she is only tougher
Having withstood this burden too many years
She’s determined she can go on forever
Reality says a body only lasts so long
The day she passes that burden severed
Love led that woman to never give up
No life should be subjected to that misery
Her reward in Heaven will take away the pain
Too bad her problem too long refused to see

A poem of internal suffering of putting on a face for others to see. A lovely poem
Thank you. I see it from outside and hate to see it.
A poignant write of suffering in silence and hiding it from the world, which only makes it worse, nicely expressed and written
Thank you. I always find your observations to be very personal. You understand suffering.
You are very welcome, sadly i do, you should read some my poems most of them are around that, enjoy the rest of your day
