"But you look good"! Who said that? Who are you?
More importantly, at what time did you volunteer to take over my body, thus making you such an expert on my pain? SAVE IT.
It sounds neither sincere, nor caring. Probably because it is not.
Because "But you look good" has taken it's place in society, as the fake interest in one's condition.
It is the blazing horn proclaiming, "Sorry you are in pain, however, don't burden me with your suffering, you look just fine". Besides, how bad can it be if it is unseen?
Does it even exist or is it a figment of the overactive imagination of many that " just don't want to pull their weight" or worse yet those that " just dont try to fit in".
There are those of us for which this pain is a daily cycle of a little pain, leading into more pain seamlessly blending into excruciating hours of searing muscles, pins and needles or other suffering invisible to the naked eye.
We apologise as a group that we could not provide you with the more easily acceptable "OPEN HEAD WOUND".
As long as those untouched by it can excuse themselves from caring with "But you look good", everything indeed should be fine, because if we wish it so, it will come true. JUST LIKE THE FAIRYTALE INDEED!
Silly us... What was our original motivation again inventing tales of pain and aches and generally feeling of unwellness ?
Was it the loss of employment that enticed us ?
The breakup of family's ?
The inconvenience of feeling like a zombie some of the time ?
And at our time of vounteering, what did we think we would gain?
And why - oh yes, why, now that some time has passed why dont we JUST GET BETTER?????????????
Enough with the game, stop that now, your illness is now officially inconveniencing those around you.
Which precisely is the point, the unwritten law says you are better now, just as seen on TV.
So what now, if I don't feel better? "whats that?" Oh of course.
I shall pull back into a hermit like existence trying all I can not to make waves, or in any way negatively influence your life.
And indeed what a pity it would be to expect you to care, to think and to realize we are not in a soap opera in which the hero always is cured of his ailments, never to be in pain again.
Surely I have "not TRIED" to get better.
YOU MUST BE RIGHT.
I must not be "trying hard enough" to improve because if I was I would no longer get up with the pain, live with the pain, and go to bed with the pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All this effort to get your attention. I really do need to get a life.
Amazing how I hold on to the pain, just to be an annoyance to you, and an uncomfortable reminder of your own vulnerability and mortality.
But you know me, I am stubborn, and I get a perverse enjoyment out of watching my life fall apart,
BUT HEY,
As I write this I am thinking....
"Silly you, how bad can it be?"
YOU LOOK GOOD TO ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
