Diagnosis Disease
"Bpd"
My legs are falling off
Ripping from my body
My eyes are melting
"ADHD"
My head
It will explode
Don't you see?
"Manic Depressive, Manic Episodes?"
This disease it is me
It laughs it shrieks
My blood vessels have branded
Into themselves
Into my soul
It's Memory
"Bipolar."
"Mood swings. Anxiety. Try this medication please"
Straight jacket laugh
Writhe against my restraints
I have buried
That girl
In the ashes of yesterday
Still
The cage is iron not steel
Strong enough
Weak enough
I will never heal
