I lost my mind you see
Yes, it happened to me
Twas a score and three
Years ago, since I began my misery
I was struck down in my prime
It happened in an instant of time
One day I woke up hearing voices
My mind was in pieces
Visual hallucinations followed soon
I was now a loon
I was in a schizoid state
Which isn’t great
I also suffer from major depression
I have no energy or motivation
An anxiety disorder ails me too
My sanity I did eschew
My view of reality is disjointed
And fractured
I have episodes that are dissociative
Where I zone out and reality is alternative
I also have delusions and PTSD
I want to flee
It’s been a protracted struggle long and hard
I envy the simple life of a bee in the yard
Well, not truly, but at least I can dream
My life is too extreme
But I don’t want to complain
Even though I have a broken brain
God has been so good to me
Christ set me free from sin and saved me
There are many hell bound with a whole mind
But they are spiritually blind
Perhaps in struggling with mental illness
I’ve found a divine peace and stillness
At Calvary Jesus bore every single mind malady
He knows my suffering and set me free
I have a great Savior Who knows my pain
One day I’ll have a glorified brain
So I’ll go on living, one day at a time
Thus ends my rhyme
