There are days when

my voice fades off

tired of the answers

tired of the musts

there are days when

rebellion boils in my heart

done with the experts

done with the gold standard

there are days I am ready

to shrug off responsibility

to turn my back on all I should do

in favor of just living a life

“against medical advice”

just living a life

ending the war with my body – Caroline A. Slee
