Chronic Pain

I wake up with a smile, paint it on so well, hide the Weight I carry, but inside its hell. They see the mask, they see me stad, but they don't Feel the tremble in my hands. Every step, a quiet fight, every breath, just trying to get it right. But no matter how hard I try, all they do is ask me why. Chronic pain, it never fades, running in circles in endless days. They don't see, they don't know, the war inside that never slows. Chronic pain, but I still rise, even when it's breaking me inside. I hold my breath, I push through, do what I can, though it's never Enough for you. The bills pile up, the calls grow cold, I'm running on empty, but I won't fold. I've learned to fight, I've learned to bleed, but my worth is more Than what you need. I am more than just the rent I pay, I am more than the pain that Won't go away. Chronic pain, it never fades, running in circles in endless days. They don't see, they don't know, the war inside that never slows. Chronic pain, but I still rise, even when it's breaking me inside. You tell me I'm failing, you don't understand, the weight of this World in the palm of my hand. Hospital walls and sleepless nights, but I refuse to lose this fight. I'm not perfect, I never was, but I won't break just because - You don't see the strength I bear; I am more than your despair. Chronic pain, it never fades, but I won't let it steal my days They don't see, they don't know, the fire inside still dares to glow. Chronic pain, but I still rise, even when it's breaking me inside. I take each step, I fight, I breathe, I won't let this world bury me. Chronic pain, but here I stand, more than just the weight in Their hands. Chronic pain, it never fades, but I won't let it steal my days They don't see, they don't know, the fire inside still dares to glow. Chronic pain, but I still rise, even when it's breaking me inside. I'm not perfect, you don't see the strength, but my worth is More than what you need. You don't see the strength I bear, I am more than your despair.
