"Not a Delusion"

Can we agree, doctor, that even an illness
with no discernable etiology is no one's fault?
I'm not sick because of my sheer willfulness
and victim-blaming by the healthy is an assault.
...
my self isn't a virus from which I must recover.

Joy is my true nature but this illness cuts tot he quick.
Self-care is all to to the good, yes, but I am still sick.
