The Sickness is Me

By Gracelyn N. Rose


They tell me I am sick

But this sickness

It is who I am

I can never change

They tell me I am damaged 

With whiskey on their breaths

If I was damaged

For being this way

Aren't they damaged, as well?

All is swell

In the well 

The hole that I have dug for myself

In the well

All is swell

They are damaged as well

For being this way

If I was damaged 

With whiskey on their breaths

They tell me I am damaged 

But I can never change

It is who I am

This sickness

They tell me I am sick

But how can I be sick when this is who I am?

The sickness is me.
