There's never anything wrong.
Which really is not a problem.
Until the time you realize
that breathing is important.
But doctors and nurses say the same,
"Your tests are all normal. You can leave."
That's great to hear
but you aren't listening to me.
I am not okay
and just because the tests say otherwise,
I am not better.
It hurts to breathe,
my chest is tight,
there's pain from sternum to back.
But the tests are negative
so it must be in my head.

Go home little girl.
There's nothing wrong here.
So with tears I leave
because once again
I've been shown
that I am not important.
