Diagnosis now confirmed
no need to worry anymore
all's that left is to exist
based on the verdict I can't dismiss
checkbox marked on the form
DSM stating the obvious
discerning the true verdict
from the wreckage of my life
now the path has been prescribed
in the book of consequence
unknown pages yet unturned
none or more before the cure
being broken is not enough
medicine must be consumed
if the diagnosis is made firm
the undoing is all that's left.

“Diagnosis” is about the other side of figuring out what is what.
