A couple of swear words!
You think that I have faked it,
This illness that strips me bare,
Sometimes looks can be deceiving,
Your opinion I don't really care,
I live daily in this pain,
That ripples through my being,
Just because its not tattooed on my head,
You believe it's fake cause your not seeing,
For example depression is an illness,
That lies in your brain, your head,
But because you can't see it,
It must be fake, this is what you've said,
My illnesses you cannot see,
Unless you know who I am,
Then when I am wracked in pain,
My friends say "you need a paracetamol Sam?"
You have no understanding,
You live in ignorant bliss,
Well you carry on in your glass house,
My arse you can well and truly kiss,
I don't need to prove to you,
That my disabilities are real,
As long as my friends and family understand,
Then I do not give a shit what you feel,
Disabilities don't go away,
They are with you forever more,
If you don't believe because you cannot see,
Then you're anatomically poor,
If you say I'm fake,
Because you cannot see,
Then what about my daughter,
And her disabilities,
I have copious records,
From specialist doctors notes,
Not silly little complaints,
Like colds and sore throats,
Go google my disabilities,
Have a look and you'll see,
M.E, fibromyalgia,
And hyper mobility,
I have proof without the doctors notes,
The proof is my body, the pain,
The days I struggle to get out of bed,
No two days the same,
My body speaks for itself,
The physio can see it too,
But obviously you know I'm not ill,
Cause the ignorance you can't see through,
So take your ignorant nature,
And go grab some education,
Under the dictionary under ignorance,
Will be your picture for the classification.
