My Journey With Mental Illness

I feel
Rather morose
I desperately need
Another dose

I take several
Psychotropic drugs
They make me feel
Like a bunch of slugs

One nasty side effect
Is insomnia at night
I can’t sleep
The darkness is a fright

I lie in bed like a
Beached whale
Who will save me
From my sad tale

All hope
Is not lost
Christ paid in blood
What my salvation did cost

The Holy Spirit
Regenerated me
I am now spiritually alive
Finally, truly free
