Fire and burn, tingle and pain, on your arm, down your leg.

Pain, oh pain, that doesn’t go away— growing pains that never fade.

But this isn’t about the body, not the ache in skin or bone. This is pain inside the brain, the kind that lingers, that stays unknown.

You might feel it physically, but that’s not what I mean. It’s the pain no one speaks of— the one that hides down deep, unseen.
