Does It Have To Be Forever?

I am in a space that no-one can see. It has neither shape nor form.      It just is. No-one knows how I feel. They just think they do. Even if I tell them, they can only nod. Empathy, understanding, sympathy. All adjectives rolled into one. It is here within me,      and it tears at me,      and I try to treat my feelings kindly      and I try not to lose myself           in my vortex. Ripping and tearing at the sinews of my flesh, I beat myself up looking inwards. These muscles, these bones, this heart      know the answer. And yet I must be still. I must be quiet. I must yell into the wind      to rage against those that do not want me. ...my children.

Additional Notes:
Okay. Call it self pity if you want. If you cannot stand this type of self disclosure, then please do not comment. These are MY feelings. Please do Not challenge me. Thank you.
