People say leave your illness

I write poetry to express my feelings in this busy world. I can share my feelings with my diary because “paper has more patience than people”.

People say leave your illness
It causes you harm
Then I think what do they know?
For me they are muggins
They say I am namby-pamby
For me they are twonk
I make a squall
Just leave me alone
I yearn if I could spank all
I just need a break
Before I have to face them again
