Constant Battle for Self
Will it ever end?
crippling pain
it's always the same
"it hurts"
"where?" he says
"everywhere," she whispers almost out of breath
She's been feeling like this for 7 straight days
The pain is both physical and mental
He tries to cheer her up but it never works
this is not the sort of pain you get over with a song, a hug, a kiss
no
he tries to understand, why she's in constant pain, why it seems like she's going insane
he thinks he's to blame.
he's not
her pain stems from deep within
her demons, ever so often, crawls out of the pit,
spewing fear, rage, anger, hatred.
in her mind is a constant battle for self
she knows not who or what she is
She resents the girl in the mirror
he tells her she's beautiful
her only reply is, "I respect your opinion"

CHAPTER 15 I pulled up in front of Sandy’s a little early, so I texted Becca again and left a message for Sharon, hoping she had a good day and I’d see her tomorrow. Two cars pulled into Sandy’s driveway. I don’t know why I was surprised to see another man with her. We’d been apart for two years and I certainly didn’t waste any time getting back on the horse.
