Asthma - bulldog eyes

Stuck in a children’s hospital

I prayed I’d die before I got old

In my sleep I tore out my IV

And bled all over my bedsheets

The walls were a pretty peppermint green

When my family came to visit me

But it didn’t make me happy

Six in a hay barn I lost my soul

I could barely breathe on the bus ride home

The steroids they used to medicate

Made my body hurt and I gained weight

As a kid I felt so ugly

I didn’t know what the doctors had done to me

To this day I curse this body

And I read steroids can trigger bipolar disorder when you’re young

And now I know why I can not have fun

I know why I can not feel loved

I know why I miss being young
