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
