My illness... My... Illness...
I'm sick.
I'm tired.
I'm sick of being sick.
I'm sick of being tired.
I'm sick of being sick and tired.
I don't know how to fucking heal.
I don't know how to know if I'm healthy.
I don't know if I want to be healthy.
My illness is so comfortable at this point.
I'm so used to being sick what would I do if I were healthy?
Would I smile more?
Would I cry less?
Would I scream with joy instead of anger?
I smile now sometimes real sometimes false.
I'm not always tear-streaked.
My screams are sometimes nonexistent.
Sometimes I'm catatonic.
Sometimes I'm alive.
Expressive.
Depressive.
I exist.
I wish I didn't sometimes.
