WHY?

by Emma Horan, Age 18

WHY cry for Help?
WHY dismiss my Chronic pain?
WHY dismiss my fatigue?
Why dismiss my confusion?
Why dismiss my loneliness?
WHY dismiss my endless symptoms?

WHY because, you say I am attention seeking.
WHY because, you say I have school issues.
WHY because, you say I have mental issues.
WHY because I have growing pains.

WHY, because all my Irish blood tests are clear.
WHY, because all my scans are clear.
WHY, because your on medication.

But WHY , has my life , been this way?

WHY NOT QUESTION , TEST AND TREAT FOR LYME DISEASE?

Ireland my voice is crying WHY?
