Doctor's think they are God
They judge me
For being young and depressed
For being in pain
For being on medication
Why do they do this
Say the things they say
It's exhausting
Makes everything so complicated
And hard
Doctor's orders
I'm in pain
Invisible disability
Is what they call it
People recommend yoga
Or meditation
As if that makes the agony
Go away
Doctor's Orders
Why do we live
In society
That treats the mentally ill
And disabled as less than
We are not less than
We are strong and capable
But people don't see that
Doctor's orders
Take this pill for that
Eat this not that
Lose weight
My own father
Doesn't trust my decisions
Because he fears
I am not rational
My pains are swept under the rug
I am told it is because I am fat
My depression is treated as a minor inconvenience
Even though I have expressed great pain and agony
Even though it can be life threatening
Medication saves lives
Doctors should know this
Yet they judge
Doctor's orders
My own future is at stake
Joint pain,mind pain
Keep me from doing
Everything I love
And I want to
All I want is the Freedom
To make my decisions
And for people to respect that
And not judge
But yet they still do
It's awful
It's terrible
It's hurtful
I am hurting
Physically and mentally
All the time
Every day
Doctor's orders
