Life With Severe Mental Illness

I am not crazy
Nor am I lazy

I often feel lethargic
My mind is catastrophic

I long to walk and play
All I have is dismay

I put on Christ’s mind
True peace I find

I am mentally ill
I take many a pill

Sometimes I have psychosis
Also, I have a neurosis

I have delusions
So far there are no solutions

Major depression is no joke
I’m a sad bloke

My sister Vi lifts my mood
I improve my attitude
