My Life With Mental Illness

I’m feeling blue
Activity I eschew

My depression is so bad
It makes me mad

I lay in bed all day
It fills me with dismay

I can’t even concentrate
There’s not much I can tolerate

The voices in my head
Fill me with dread

I hope to be well
Mentally I fell

In this deep malaise
My mind is in a daze

I have vivid hallucinations
It’s my mind’s faulty machinations

Sometimes I’m delusional
My mental states are quite unusual

My anxiety can be very high
I don’t know why
