You saw it all fall apart, you saw the person I was before and after the illness started pulling out my teeth, and draining the colour from my cheeks
+
And I can't blame you for leaving me here
+
But I wish that you'd told me how it upset my mother
+
Seeing her son's condition fading daily, it must have been so hard
+
She's been through hell with me so far
+
Between depression and colitis, I lost half of my weight
+
She'd find me bleeding in the bathroom, too exhausted to shake
+
I was embarrassed to speak up because a "man" should be able to care for himself
+
I shouldn't need medication to make it through the day
