They Say

It's your fault,
    they say.
The disease
    is in your head,
not theirs.
What they did doesn't matter,

You're being resistant,
    they say.
You're supposed to
    swallow
everything we say,
        without objecting.

The way you think is wrong,
    they say.

Hurry! Faster faster faster! You need to change now!
No time for feelings! No time for caution! No time for
        you!

After all,
    as they say,
they're here to help.
