I Have Mental Illness

I’m mentally ill
I take many a pill

I lost my mind
It I cannot find

Sometimes I’m manic
My thoughts are frantic

I suffer from neurosis
As well as psychosis

I have delusions galore
And hallucinations, I abhor

Anxiety disorder, I have indeed
I wish to be freed

Sometimes I get a dissociative event
My sanity is bent

Schizophrenia plagues me a lot
Major depression makes my mind rot

I long for my mind to be whole
I endure a mental Sheol

I pray for God’s help
My mind does yelp
