Hidden Inside
written by: Jeff Flesch
@FleschJeff
I crumble like stone
into a void with no home
falling
I try to understand the pain
and trauma coming up
within a body and mind, a disease
no one can find
hidden
inside the elements of being
swimming upcurrent, no feeling
at times, only a shell of emptiness
comes to me in line
with a past, hard to stare into
a mirror for so many
yet we continue to pretend it’s all going to be okay
and, in time
I think it will be
while also knowing, being not okay
is as valid as someone else trying to save my day
