  Who Said

Who said you could fix me?
Who gave you the right?

I’m not broken.
Where you see a disease of the mind,
I see the reality of the world.

What if I think you’re crazy?
What if I see it for what it is?
What if I see you for who you are?
Do I get to put you on drugs?

Your world is cozy.
My world is poor.
Your world has love.
My world has emptiness.
You drive a car.
I ride the bus.

You don’t feel my pain.
You don’t feel my disease.
You don’t see my family reject me.
You didn’t lose your hair with treatments.

Who said you could fix me?
Who gave you the right?
I’m not broken.
Where you see a disease of the mind,
I see the reality of my world.

sounds a lot like how many people view their relationships with their doctors.
