Invisible Pain
My mom calls out to me
The pain that hurts in my chest,
I feel her pain but she cannot see,
Every time I take a breath.
It’s slowly turning me insane.
Like a caged animal rattling its chain.
Trying to run, begging for freedom.
But that day will never come.
Nor will this emotional pain that weighs a ton
I continue to uphold it on my back
Just as Atlas
Am forever burden to hold it till I snap.
