Treatment



Miss Doctor number one says it is not The Dark Sea.

She says it is called disorders

And this is why I am abnormal.

Because 'it is not right that a child would have this many scars.'

And this is why I am not good

Because 'It is not right for a child to resent her own mother.'

And this is why I need to be fixed

Because 'it is not right for me to be me'.

So she is going to make me 'right'

Because I will never be able to be right

With my own crippling brain.

Miss Doctor number one gives me rainbow drugs

That coat the deep grey sea with thousand of colours.

My heart stops beating in the presence of a terrifying shark

And the scars no longer hurt when it is re-open over and over.

I thought this is called happiness

As I drown deeper in The Dark Sea.

Oh, no, it is not The Dark Sea,

It is disorders now.

I love the rainbow, but it does not last,

So I take the magic drugs again

And again

And again

When she says 'No, there is nothing wrong with you

There is no way a child I raise would have disorders'

And again

And again

When he says 'you are my child,

you can bear with it'

And again

And again

When they say 'there is nothing wrong with you

Stop using it to get attention'

And again

And again

The rainbow colour mix together and turn pitch black

But it is ok,

Because it is no longer hurt,

And I am free now

From my guilt of having a crippling heart.

Miss Doctor number two says that is not freedom.

She says it is called committing suicide

And I am lucky that I survived.

She says I look too happy

To have disorders.

So she takes away my rainbow drugs

And leaves me alone

In The Dark sea.

She said I was lucky.

I could not disagree more.



Mister Doctor number five says

There is hope.

What a foreign word.
