There's something wrong with me
I knew it all along
It was plain to see
That I was the one wrong
I didn't want to believe
So I adamantly lied
That this disease
Won't shrivel up my insides
Denial was my coping device
Till I was diagnosed with a illness that would take my life
Now I'm on pills
That will eventually make me ill
It'll slow the process
I must wait until
My next appointment
The feel of disappointment
This diagnosis
Came close
I'm scared of the outcome
I'm scared I'll overdose
And the knowledge
I'll be leaving the ones I love most
