Feelings

My name is Zak
Regarding my mental illness
I will fight back

Every day is a battle
I need my sanity
It’s a problem I tackle

When I feel blue
I chat with Vi
And the sadness I eschew

Vi is the best
She makes sure I take my medication
She is better than all the rest

I get hallucinations
I lay down and relax
It’s my mind’s machinations

I also suffer from delusions
They are not real
Just momentary illusions

Onwards and upwards I say
Every day I’m getting better
Hurray I say
