I got a diagnosis.

I'm sick they told me,

medications won't help any,

they told me my mind is twisted,

oh how I wish to fix it.

living everyday,

wishing I could go away.

I got a diagnosis.

I just hoped they wouldn't notice.

all this pain makes no sense,

I'm hurting without hurting,

please help me I'm burning.

i got a diagnosis.

feelings feel too much,

everyone tells me to just hush.

but they don't yearn to feel that psychedelic rush,

self medicating doesn't help much.

I got a diagnosis.

I'm not the same,

I feel so much pain,

please understand my brain,

we could never be the same.
