Sick of Health
  I’ve had enough of health.
  Mental
  Psychical
  I’m done with it all.
  I’m sick of believing that green juice will cure me
  That running will make me happy
  That fresh air will detoxify my blood
  I don’t care.
  I have breathed consciously to the point of insanity
  And the only result has been frustration.
  I feel sick
  Constantly
  And home remedies created by neurotypicals won’t fix me
  I’m a lost cause
  I eat junk
  “Toxic” junk
  I waste my body
  I trash my temple
  I sleep with disregard for my rem cycle.
  I am done.
  I have tried for so long
  To solve issues in my life
  Like they are issues in my head
  To treat legitimate emotions
  Like pH imbalances
  I’m sick and I’m sick of pretending that any fix will fix me
  We’re all sick
  Aren’t we?
  We’re all tired
  And lazy
  And lousy
  And lost.
  We’re all desperate to believe that salad will take that away
  It won’t.
  Cause we’re not broken.
  Broke can be fixed
  Sick needs a cure
  And there’s not one.
  And I’m sick.
