Healthy but unwell

I do not have a fever
yet I'm burning inside.
I'm melting with my tears
as my emotions engulf me.

I do not have a headache or migraine
so why is my head pounding?
why can't I focus on a single word?
My mind falls down the ladder of stress.

I do not have a sore throat
yet I cannot murmur a syllable.
My nostrils are working fine -
so why am I unable to breathe?

I do not have a chest infection
but I can no longer feel my heart.
I do not have physical bruises
yet I bleed internally...

and no one suspects a thing.
