“Sick, Sad Bitch (But On the Mend)” (by Tawny, probably high on Endone)

Here’s a raw, real, and cheeky song that leans into your humour, honesty, and big-heartedness while honouring what you’ve been through. It's got a spoken-word-meets-alt-pop vibe — something you could belt out or whisper with attitude. [Verse 1] Yeah, I’ve been a sick, sad bitch Not the sexy kind, the real-life glitch Kidney stones throwing fists in my back Body said “rest” — I said “cool,” But you didn’t need to attack IV drips, pain meds, midnight sweats Endone’s my sidekick, no regrets Hospital gown couture, giving runway vibes But don’t be fooled, babe — I cried at least five times [Chorus] I'm on the mend, yeah I’m crawling back With a heart full of thanks and a lil’ ice pack To the nurses, docs, the friend who brought snacks To the stranger who smiled — you all had my back Family, you're gold, even when I’m dramatic And you, dear world — thanks for not being static [Verse 2] Mental health said, “hey, we’re circling the drain” So my body booked a hospital to match the pain I needed a rest, not a total shutdown Guess I don't half-a*s breakdowns in this town I've been loud, I’ve been tender, I’ve been way too much But if you think I overshare, babe — Try carrying this much stuff [Bridge] You see the tears, the jokes, the memes I send But that’s 10% — not even the end You call me dramatic? I call it survival Try being inside me — you’d pray for revival [Chorus] I'm on the mend, yeah I’m patching the seams With gratitude, meds, and half-baked dreams To every hand held, every “you okay?” You helped me live another day So next time you think I’m a bit much — Just know I’ve carried storms with a velvet touch [Outro – spoken like a whisper/confession] Yeah, I’m a sick, sad bitch But I’m still here. And if you only knew The weight I never let near.
