Pain

The pain I feel, nobody knows
The soaring ache, deep down it grows
I've tried it before
I'll try it again
I won't stop
Till I end my pain
Don't try to interfere
It'll just make it worse
The pain goes so deep
My whole body starts to curse
I need to do something
To distract my mind
To block the memories
But the truth I must find
I shove my fingers down my throat
My eyes begin to gleam
They dont know it's happened before
How timid and normal I seem
My body screams in protest
Yet my mind it begs for more
my hands begin to shake
My heart, it hits the floor
I can't stop
I don't have the will
I can't even focus
As my stomach starts to unfill.
