Year after year,
Doctor after doctor,
Condescension, followed by condemnation,
Followed by empty, cover your ass words, to a sky ghost.
And they still know all the answers.
Drs. Know it all,
They are convinced.
Even after I challenge every notion of what is true.
Given 3 months of life,
I am alive eight years later.
Labeled incapable,
I got into law school.
Called fragile,
I travel, and swim, and walk for miles at a time in the name of charity.
So, please, don’t let a title go to your head.
