INVISIBLE ILLNESS:

Pain, fatigue, dizziness & all at sea,

She suffers in silence & no one sees,

Fighting tough battles, all on her own,

And yet, nobody hears her lonely groan.

 

Garbing pain racked body in satin & lace,

Pale lips painted red, upon pallid wan face,

Outdoors she goes, with trials in her pocket,

Nobody knows, except those in her locket.

 

With smile on her lips, that are so well sealed,

Living in constant hope, to be one day healed,

On “How are you dear”? She answers every time,

“Thank you for asking me & I´m doing just fine”.
