See Me
 
See me
See me not
Have some more Valium or Prozac
the antidepressant of your choice
I’m not ill because I am depressed
I am depressed because I am ill
Too simplistic. Have another blood test
Arms full of needle holes from wrist to elbow
Not a good look
I am not ill because I am depressed
I am depressed because I am ill
You look okay
Why do you have a blue badge?
You can walk
I can walk today
I am not ill because I am depressed
I am depressed because I am ill
And no-one will listen
Do the right tests
And finally
The good news
It won’t kill you
The bad news
It won’t kill you
I am so tired
I no longer have the strength to speak
See ME
See ME not
