Individualistic

As time goes by we discover such a diagnose for any flaw,
Is this what it comes to in the end of times?
Where any excuse can get time reduced?
Such good pills can be shoved in you , so ones around can bare you 
As if Dr. oz , can cure you, 
we believe all these lies , as we lie ourselves , most of all i completely fib to myself , i couch myself to self sabotage, i make my tumors my excuse  ,
you start noticing things that weren't there for years , such as a friend that spread her legs for your lover , such insanity when you tell your own self , i should have done better ,
such cruelty the world faces , as i write such words thinking they have any meaning when others have to watch their families raped , and slaughtered ,
after watching news about the world , i stare myself down  ,and realize my issue is i have only one relationship with my disabled self 

i refuse to label a diagnosis when its just individualistic

Very deep and thought provoking. Your final line, I couldn't agree more.

very appreciated , i just started writing again . Had no idea this site existed , so means a lot. Just as humans we want something as a excuse to what we do , just to justify ourselves because we constantly rather feel better about ourselves
