Diagnosis for the Weak
Every beginning is weak.
Every step forwards leave me catching my breath.
This is a diagnosis for the weak.
Handling every day life has become a mission I set forth to concur.
I stand with the crowd.
I wish I had courage to stand alone.
This is a diagnosis for the weak.
It's always the loud ones with the dirty hands that point the fingers.
My anxiety has become a wet match.
I've got no flame.
This is a diagnosis for the weak.
I came.
I faught.
I was captured.
This is a diagnosis for the weak.
Normal was just an illusion I wore.
Anxiety was my clothing.
Depression was my dinner.
This is a diagnosis for the weak.
One year with a diagnosis and four pills a day did nothing to cure the bullies.
One year of torment did nothing to stop the pain.
This was a diagnosis for the weak..
Except..
I still cared.
I still cried.
I ran and I laughed and I smiled when everything was shattering apart.
This wasn't a diagnosis for the weak.
It was evidence.
Evidence to show struggle and strength and how I had the amazing ability to continue living with it.
This was a diagnosis for the Strong.
