It's not my fault that sleep doesn't come to me easily, that the thoughts in my mind will not leave me, that it takes two hours before I drift off completely (sometimes even three). It's not my fault that my hands and legs would not stop fidgeting, that I find the littlest things very distracting, (like how the clock never stops ticking) that I like to keep repeating. It's not my fault that sometimes I can't breathe, that I'm not the person who you would want to be with, that sometimes I don't want to live. It's not my fault that I have a condition. Or maybe it is. (n.d.)
