Dad I read until the words went flat I marked the parts that sounded true I learned to doubt the cleanest claim Then tried a few of those things too A box arrived, a graph went up A number gave my fear a name I'd swear that I was done with it Then start the search again Every cure has a salesman Every answer has a price I could hear the pitch already Still I listened one more time I was trying to help her I was trying to make the fear stop "Anything" was a loving word When I didn't know what else to do Network This is not a cure. This is an accessibility trial. No promise of recovery. No claim of normal speech. Response timing. Repetition. Tone and selection. Participation is voluntary. You may stop at any time. Dad That sounded different in the room No miracle pinned to the wall They showed me limits, margins, risk And said it still might fail Just another way to listen Another measure, another choice And I hated how much I wanted One clear answer I could trust Every cure has a salesman Every answer has a price I could hear the pitch already Still I listened one more time I was trying to help her I was trying to make the fear stop "Anything" was a loving word When I didn't know what else to do I don't need perfection I don't need every word I need to know when something hurts Before I have to guess I need to know when she's afraid When she needs me, when it's too much Give me one clear way to hear her That's the thing I can't give up Network We can't promise. We can test. We can stop. We can learn. Dad Every cure has a salesman Every fear can make one too Desperation wears a lab coat Even when the work is true I'm still trying to help her I'm still scared of what I miss I sign my name beneath the questions And I tell them, "Let's begin."
