no cure

it's not like measles,
or
the mumps, or even
cancer.
it's nothing like any disease.
it's beyond
that.
you can't fix what's
in the bone,
in the blood,
the heart.
this is who people are
from the jump.
there's no changing them,
no fixing.
they will never be different
from who they are.
what you see is what you get.
as the song goes.
whether good or bad.
and they themselves know that.
it's not a choice. it's
just so.
there's no cure
for the self, it's their
true nature.
they can try and hide it,
but
it's permanent. don't fool
yourself
and try to help them.
you're wasting your time.
