Don't Make Me The Problem

 "I got your message."

"I'm sorry you had such a bad experience at the ER"
"Can you come in?"
"Well, you need to be seen."
"Well, I guess virtual is the only option."

Yes, virtual is
The only option
But you refused to listen
To me
The first time I told you.

I went to the ER.
I did what I was told.
They didn't help me.
Didn't listen either.
And now I'm sicker than yesterday.

So, no I can't come in.
No, I can't go to another ER.
Don't act like I'm causing problems
Just because I can't do it your way.
Your advice is why I'm so sick.

I am not being difficult.
I am advocating for my health.
So I don't wake up one day
And can never get out of bed.
What's the point of life then?

So yeah,
What's going on with my brain
Isn't good
But my rotting body also
needs to be considered.

Don't give me attitude.
Don't act like I'm a burden.
Don't treat me like a problem.
I'm a human who did everything you said
And now I'm stuck in bed.
