Expose It
A poem about shining light on the internal challenges that we face
A loud noise
Followed by the annoying sounds of crepitation
Another malfunctioning hinge
One more thing to add that needs fixing
Where to put it on the never-ending list
Every addition already deemed a priority
When it contributes to constant aches and pains
Body failing me both physically and mentally
Trying to reach out for air
While I am drowning in torrential rain
The physical body to an extent can be assessed
But sometimes the darkness that clouds the mind hides
Only shows itself to the one whose body it has possessed
Tries to deter you from reaching out
Muffles your cry
That voice takes center stage inside your head
Telling you to put bandages on invisible wounds instead
The truth is in what can be seen
As no one will be convinced
Unless they know it is physically there
