My Fractured Mind

Today, I feel insane
I have a defective brain

I have racing thoughts
My mind is out of sorts

Spirits I hear
They cause me to fear

Demons come into my room
I have a foreboding sense of doom

I feel like a sloth
I watch a lone moth

I have many a dissociative event
My sanity is spent

Hallucinations, I have galore
They are hard to ignore

I deal with many a delusion
It causes me confusion

I take my medication
It doesn’t cause elation

I will suffer all my life
Mental illness causes much strife
