Diagnosis

Written by Emma Wrieden from Russell Sage College - Troy, NY


I’m sorry to hear that

But it could be worse

You don’t look that sick

Must be “nice” not to work

My friend has what you have

And she seems just fine,

I knew someone who had

What you have but they passed.

Have you tried yoga?

You just need fresh air,

Try crystals, go vegan,

Make sure you try prayer.

Don’t listen to doctors

They just want to push meds,

But make sure you just don’t eat

Dairy or bread.

I’m tired too, I know just how you feel,

I can sell you some oils

They’re the best way to “heal.”

Remember the key to your health is 

Your mind, just think positively 

And you’ll be just “fine”.
