You get what you get

We’ve all heard it before;
You get what you get and you don’t get upset.
Well, I’ll tell you what I got. I got a brain that tells me I should jump in front of every car I see.
Are you telling me I should just accept that I’m broken?
You get what you get and you don’t get upset.
I got paranoia and mania.
I got a brain that thinks everyone’s out to get me.
Am I not allowed to be mad about it?
You get what you get and you don’t get upset.
I got a body that doesn’t match my brain.
A body that mocks me everyday while it changes into something I never okayed.
So I should just deal?
I got what I got, what I get is depression, and despair.
Tell me how THE FUCK that’s fair.
We’ve been taught to accept that we’re broken, not to fight for better.
I’m so fucking tired of being silent.


I wrote a much better version of this poem, this one sounds stupid.
