"I'm depressed," she said, laughing a bit.
You gave her this glare, like "look you lil ****,"
"You know not what you speak, you don't even get
what that means," we live in a world when as long as you
have an excuse, you aren't responsible
and "I'm ADHD" is enough to be able to do
whatever you want, and you aren't held accountable
At what point do feelings become genuine enough
to justify your actions? When is it okay to hurt
others and plead insanity, your morals aren't tough
You're confining yourself, staying in the dirt,
"I can't get higher, the world's stacked the odds,"
is enough to believe you're 'fine just as you are'
When you use, 'I'm okay as a sociopath, why don't you love me'
instead of, 'I can be better, I can get very far,'
Everyone will be held responsible for their actions,
Boys will NOT just be boys, and girls are not all *******
We don't have to break into meaningless factions
Hurting each other, you gave my heart stitches,
you don't have to do that. You can be nice to me.
because in reality, you ARE fine, you ARE free
These limiting conceptions are what's holding you back
It's impossible to believe you can get back on track
You're stuck in this rut and it hurts, it tingles
The rays of this roof is breaking through the shingles
I want you to be happy, I want you to see light
The will of your body is the will of your mind
You can conquer these words, these diagnosis confines,
You can do it. I know. Believe me. You're fine.

I have nothing against people who really, truly, honestly are diagnosed with personality disorders. But who defines at what point it becomes a disorder and at what point is it just your personality? If you label everything and say, well, this is what I have, then it becomes impossible to break free, instead of overcoming whatever vice you have. It becomes an excuse: "I have anger-management problems, that's why I punched you in the face." People have over-diagnosed themselves and it hurts the people who really have these disorders because it gives a lack of credentiality to what they are. But I, as always, am a firm believer that people can mostly overcome whatever it is life throws in their way. Yes, maybe you're sad. You can fix that. If you're clinically depressed, you maybe can't fix that. It's just a muddy gray area and it's difficult to draw the line. But who is it that determines if your feelings are 'real' enough? No one can get inside your head. I don't know. My beliefs on this are complicated.
