They cannot make you better
They don't believe you
They deny you medications

They blame you for getting sick
They blame you for asking for relief
They blame you for not getting better

They don't want you to kill yourself
They won't help you die
If you kill yourself
They still blame you

I'm not a serial killer
Or even a petty thief
Yet I have committed the greatest crime
Of being chronically ill.
