You Can't Fix You



When in therapy your asked what not why
You're asked who not you
They don't believe it's you
You believe its you
your brain says
You're the problem
You can’t fix you
You’ve tried
How hard they ask
Apparently not enough for you
You’re not enough
You can’t fix you
Open up they say
   You can’t they’ll think your overacting
You can't fix you
You can’t fix you
