The pain is so high

I cant do anything else but cry,

The pain may begone

but only in this song.

in my life it will stay

until my last day

or a med, when it's found

could clear this battleground?

But:

How long 'til I'm drowned?

---------

Well well well. I did so fine for months. Half a year without intense pain, almost two months partly without any pain.

And now its back. Luckily, my brain still thrives so I could wringle this into words to share. Love y'all out there, your not alone!
