People assume you aren‘t sick
unless they see the sickness on your skin
like scars forming a map of all the ways you‘re hurting.
My heart is a prison of Have you tried?s
Have you tried exercising? Have you tried eating better?
Have you tried not being sad, not being sick?
Have you tried being more like me?
Have you tried shutting up?
Yes, I have tried. Yes, I am still trying,
and yes, I am still sick.
TheBookgeekFrau I offer hugs bc I feel for you and have nothing else to offer except hope that you know you're not alone 😌 2y
