Angela Mccrimmon Poem
I wonder if they ever take the time to think,
I wonder if they really understand,
We turn to them for help when we are on the brink,
Do they realise that our lives are in their hands.
Some use the approach of "Cruel to be kind"
All that ever does is break my heart,
I feel insanity is racing through my mind,
I see the end before I even start.
I'm caught up in this madness and I want to shout,
"Please Help Me" for I am feeling scared,
I feel deep inside that my strength is running out,
Familiar yet I'm always unprepared.
I wonder if they ever stop to realise,
That we don't all fit neatly in a box,
The "labels" they attach are all that I despise,
I'm many things but textbook I am not!
I guess I'll never know for I will never ask,
I don't think they would answer anyway,
Would I find a human if I seen beyond their mask,
I'm guessing in this box they'll make me stay.

Angela Mccrimmon Poem
I know one day I'll make it and I know it won't be long,
I know one day you'll realise that you really got me wrong,
I'll hold my head up high for I know that you will see,
I am so much more than what this illness stole from me.
You thought you'd worked me out as you'd met my "type" before,
You didn't try to hide that my excuses were a bore,
"Take responsibility"...believe me I stand by,
Every single action and every tear I cry.
You read my notes but this is now and that was then,
Another "presentation" you think "Here we go again"
You don't stop to realise that albeit this it true,
I long to get off this merry-go-round, I just need some help from you.
"Borderline Personality" it seems you all agree,
I admit that I do see many traits of it in me,
I beg you though to look a little further and beyond,
This is more than "personality" ...something else is wrong!
You think I'm in denial but I assure you I am not,
It feels like i'm the patient that the NHS forgot,
"Breakdown in communication" that old familiar line,
At what end was the breakdown because I know it wasn't mine!
For now I'll keep on fighting but I wish we were a team,
Then you wouldn't apprehend that all's not as it seems,
I know one day I'll make it for I will not give in,
It seems you underestimate the strength I hold within
