Label Me

I have a label which is called BPD
It basically reads “don’t help me.”

Everyone will say and talk
“they are not ill, it is all in their heads.”
“they are taking up all our hospital beds.”

“they just want attention and nothing more.”
“There is nothing wrong with them, that is for sure.”

“Lets not help them at all, and why should we?”
“It is not affecting you or me.”

“She is just a nuisance.” I hear them say
“Oh she is just having a bad day.”

I so wish you had my label for only one day
Let us see how far you get, along your way!

Life is not simple with BPD
It is just a label that says
“Don’t help me.”
