Blindsided by the medical system

At 18, a diagnosis cast in stone,

Echoes of certainty, in each tone,

Endocrinologists, voices so clear,

Black or white, no room for fear.

Told you were this or that, no shades of gray,

A label too narrow, a price to pay,

In the search for classification, you found,

A truth unfound, a lost profound.

Doubt crept in, trust began to fray,

In the medical system, led astray,

Wavering faith in the words they spoke,

The truth obscured in a cloud of smoke.

Eyes strained in the quest for clarity,

A journey marred by disparity,

Misdiagnosed, the shadows loomed,

A battle fought, a path cocooned.

But in the darkness, a light did gleam,

A voice within, a silent stream,

Trust not in labels, in boxes confined,

Your truth transcends, a rare find.

A lesson learned in the depths of doubt,

The system flawed, but you hold the clout,

To navigate the journey ahead,

With resilience, with courage led.

Embrace the uncertainty, the unknown,

A spirit resilient, uniquely grown,

For in the gray areas, the blurred lines,

Your truth shines bright, steadfastly shines.
