An illness I can choose to hide
One I keep buried deep inside
Smiling and laughing through the pain
Try so hard not to pull at that chain
The wigs I wear feeling like a mask
Hoping that no one will ask
Not letting anyone in on my pain
Thinking there was nothing to gain
Treatments don't work no matter how many I try
Leaving me to question why
What do I do to make it through
So my hopes and dreams can come true
How do I let the world see me
If I myself don't like what I see
Caring about the opinions of others
Doesn't give you the time to discover
Strength and compassion comes from within
For me that has been my biggest win
Self love is the key
That will set you free
-Kristen
