Mental Maladies

Today I feel totally not okay
Much to my dismay
I wish I was feeling gay

My mind is broken
Never a truer word was spoken
At least I’m one of the chosen

A malfunctioning brain
Has been my bane
When young I ran in the rain

Oh cruel earth
I have suffered greatly since birth
But in Christ is found my worth

I take a lot of medication
They are psychoactive regulation
Where is my motivation

I must get through each day
I need to pray
It’s a heavy price to pay

Mental illness can seem like a curse
Every year it gets worse
It’s certainly an unwelcomeness

  1. I pray that you feel better soon. I believe that God will get you through this! I used to have severe mental illness symptoms but then my symptoms improved. I got on the right kind of medication and I got therapy for my depression and anxiety! It took time, but I did get better!!
