What People Hear Versus What I Say

When I say I am strange,

They nod their heads wisely.

When I say I am not normal,

They concur in an agreeable pomposity.

When I say I am ill,

They laugh and tell me it’s all in my head.

Yes.

Yes. It is!

It is all in my head

and they won’t listen to me!

Which is why I get no help for the illness

that hurts me the most.
