my award

They whispered your illness isn’t the picture

And it’s totally okay that your answer is liquor

The doctors want to say I am factory made

So I’m still the one that nobody wants to save

If you say congrats, will I take a step back?

Only if you attack trauma I have to unpack

A cocky rendition that labels me the victim

This day in age, I listen to my own wisdom

When will the judges give me my award?

Tell me what was all of that crying for?

Patience means there are signs to ignore

For my pain to exist, there had to be more

I no longer complain about every day

Screaming at you I’m finally okay
