Dear Doctor

Does the council wait for a child to die
to put a crossing on the road
Do you wait me to lose half my body weight
to give me speialized support
Do you wait for me to vomit out my career and life
To give me specialized support
Do you wait for me to carve the pain out of my body
To refer me to people specialized in eating disorders
to help me live my life - not theirs
Do you listen to me when I say things aren't ok
when I need help do you turn me away
Do you make me fight for what I need
Do you make me jump through hoops to push me away
Do you take me seriously doctor
or do you say I need to diet
or just eat a bit of cake
What do you do dear doctor
What do you do?
