The Unspoken Pain

Life is sometimes filled with missteps and slips.
like sliding down a steep hill with nothing to grip.

You can try but there's no guarantee that you'll do it in grace.
You're left there feeling powerless as gravity takes it's place.

Just a quick misplacing of a foot is all it takes for you to stumble.
Before quickly falling on your side, taking an even harder tumble.

Until eventually you hit something hard like a tree in your path.
As your body hits it with great speed, feeling it leave it's wrath.

You're left there alone, with your bones feeling tender and weak.
With no strength left in you to even attempt to climb up that peak.

So time continues to pass by as you dwell in the moment of pain.
Letting it all set in even though you know there's nothing to gain.

So you wait in silence hoping for someone to see your hard fall.
But you know when they ask that your words will start to stall.

What do you do when you struggle to bring the pain to light.
So scared to talk about what's going on even your lips get tight.

Till silence washes over you, powerless with no words to say.
Just sat there silent, quietly wishing for a start of a new day.
