"Yeah but you can still work.
I don't wanna hear it hurts.
Get out there and exert
yourself for me, you twerp.

Don't give me that dead-eye stare.
To fix this, I'll have to care!

DWP: Laissez-faire.
MR, Appeal, if you dare
risk mental health care.
Human rights -- Au contraire.

Have you died yet? Get a job.
Meet the quota, can't log off.
Use elbow grease, you slob.
Breathe your betters' cough.

Can't sleep? Not my problem.
Waste of space; speck of crumb.
But don't be late, you damn bum.
With your shit we are done.

Yeah but you can still work.
Your forms give us no concern.
Body can move or jerk,
brain's stuck in a lurch...
Yeah but you can still work."

"I expand on this nonsense
for reasons forgotten.

The pieces I've lost
Were taken -- now rotten.

My memories
scrambled;
Woes misbegotten.

Each of us: all
Intertwined cotton
Between polyester
Wool, hemp, and nylon.

(Micro plastics?) Real politick.

Celebrity spacers colonise racists.

And amid all of this, we pay off their debts?!

Spread out the spoils of everyone's toil,

Or else we, embroiled, still fight over oil.

While Fossil fuel lobbyists bat for economists,

Our fossil fascism appetite matches them."

1. You and yourself form your being. But by that, what am I meaning?
Dualism is moot, no schism is true,
and identity's not all it's seeming.

2. Post-cholecystectomy [ko le sis tek toe mee]. This back pain will be the death of me.
"Right shoulder pain" became "mild strain"?
Docs ask how they're "enemy".

3. Counselling Level 3 coursework at this point feels like mild torture.
How can I stand 'Review Action Plan'
when my options send me to torpor?

4. UPR, ethics, and feel what you notice (for therapy, real).
Set forth Carl Rogers, Person-Centred's starter.
Humanistic counsell -- his whole deal.

5. I say Integrative Therapy
mixes together all three
approaches today taught in the UK:
Per-Centered, PsyDynamic, CBT.

6. Level 4 is the min you need right now to practise therapy.
You can still joke out quite a belter, as long as your role stays "helper".
One more word for client: "helpee".

7. For me, relearning MMA (medical-wise) has stayed "nay".
I have no energy, nor makeup on peak.
Who knows? Maybe... one day...

8. Just like spoiling a plot, repeat triggerers get blocked.
You ought aim not cause harm, if wish you to spare alarm.
Or... had we forgot?

9. Through others do we know ourself?
With lovers, we learn what we're dealt.
Your bodymind chooses which traits it loses,
plus those for which you far delve.

10. Sometimes you can guess your traumas. Meds' side effects include nausea.
Bothered ye to get yourselves through.
I never unlocked Bozja.

11. You can not make me start work. Although I feel like a jerk.
My tutor awaits the far-past-due date.
On this seat, I stay and I lurk.

12. Nonbinary goes known. Get up here, come, have a go.
"Are you masculine?"
"Are you feminine?"
Robot, femboy, and crone!

13. Gender is what your brain be, while expression is acting, you see.
Attraction to parts, updates and larks.
Oh no, sexuality!

14. Asexuals may be or not queer.
All aces stay welcome here.
Agender folk face too many jokes.
Aromantics write slash fics or jeer.

15. It's okay to ask for help. Whether or not you feel well.
While systems are limited, your needs stay existent.
We need to thunderclap-yell.

Here's the abridged version, mostly the end. I feel like these stanzas are more widely applicable to most people or situations. Probably more accessible. too. (A little reworked to make it flow a bit better for most readers.)

"Whom you want to be - Lyrics or poem

All I want from you:
Be more of yourself and choose
whom you want to be.

No one else will feel your feelings.
No one else can cry your tears.
No one else may think your viewpoints.
No one else should stoke your fears.

Trans people exist?
Hello, I'm one!
Nonbinary just means "person".
What a kind idea we won.

Is it nice to meet you?
I'm not really sure.
Had you considered being trans, too?
Did I ever know you, anymore?

To be real is not to repeat
the last thing you have read.
To be "biased" means
you've opinions in your head.

I can no longer make myself care.
Maybe if you loved yourself more,
while you will not see me there,
you'd have more chance to tone down the scorn.

Do I deserve to have kids?
What if I turn into you?
Oh, dear god(s), no! I can't risk that.
The core idea rips me in two.

I love them too much in advance
to avoid asking of ourselves:
"May we bring into existence
people whose time may never tell?"

How do I avoid that?
I'm terrified to be you.
A child is not a cat,
but fully-formed human, new.

All I want from you:
Be more of yourself and choose
whom you want to be.

Ban fossil lobbying; and act!
Long-term, more extreme weather?
Climate change patterns collapse.
We've plenty solutions clever.

Problems from hierarchy
ingress beneath our skin.
Set aside your worries;
Become your strength within.

You cannot redo high school.
Become yourself, a real adult.
What can you do; who are you?
Feel emotions, more than sulk.

HRT may have advantages
for who you want to be.
Think past the many challenges.
Imagine yourself free. "

(but also that
Lily Alexandre video about DIY HRT
you can find on youtube, nebula, and archival places for as long as possibly, hopefully.)

[Also, the bias / opinion bit is about e.g. hearing the phrase "filter bubble", then immediately testing everyone you know whether they are less that you for succumbing to our shared systems.]
