Words hurt, if only they believed me~
Ive heard it time and time again." you don't look sick" try this , try that."why cant you just get better.I cant tell you how many times Ive heard these words. They echo in my mind, and they make my blood boil.Just because i look happy and put together, doesn't mean that im not sick.Just because my hair is done and my make up is on, does not mean im not sick.Or what about this one, when people doubt the severity of our sickness and they say you just exaggerate your symptoms.This makes me angry, but more so sad, that people either aren't educated enough or they just don't care and think how their words can tear down someone.Words do hurt.Many understand, but some choose not to and others should know better.
If i were to walk around looking how i feel all the time, then maybe they would believe me, that's why its called a invisible disease, because from looking at us you cant see all that's wrong inside our bodies. Like all of you im sick of being sick, im tired of constantly being tired, but i do my best to find the things, even if they are small to make me smile to keep my spirits up.How many of you get tired of answering the same questions over and over, the same assumptions people make without asking us.I feel like a old broken record that just plays over and over.I feel like screaming WAKE UP!
What if we spoke all that we felt inside our bodies all the time?I know im not alone in these feelings.I thank God i have those understanding people in my corner, who know what to say and how to say it in a compassionate way.Many people think if it doesn't directly affect them, they don't care how it comes across. There is the problem, why cant they speak with love and understanding?WORDS DO HURT, even if we don't make it known.So next time someone assumes you look good because you look good or doubt how you feel, and you feel like death.....Look at them and say"if you only knew how i felt on the inside,because if
i wore that on the outside, you never again would say those 3 little words that carry so much hurt behind their meaning.UNDERSTANDING.... ITS TIME MORE PEOPLE GAVE US THIS~
