Your illness does not define you
Your brain tricking you into cruel confusions, distorted reality
Your illness does not define you
Your body surprising you with unwanted urges, against your will
Your illness does not define you
Your dysmorphia attempting to overwhelm your logical mind, trapping you
Your illness does not define you
Your past actions haunting you, threatening to return
Your illness does not define you
Your body caught up in this tumultuous tug-of-war, attempting to break you
Your illness does not define you
My strong, brave, courageous friend
