My Mental Health Journey

I struggle mentally every day
I am full of dismay

I lack motivation
I labor for sanctification

Often, I see and hear
Things that aren’t there

I am depressed all the time
God cut me down in my prime

I became mentally ill
And have to take many a pill

For 25 years, I’ve fought
I’ve had many a bad thought

I deal with delusions, too
Insanity, I try to eschew

Severe mental illness is no joke
I am one exhausted bloke

I have extreme lethargy
Heavy fatigue saps me

I deal with bad anxiety
I tend to worry excessively

Sometimes I have dissociation
It’s my mind’s machination

One day, I’ll have a sound mind
In Heaven, peace I will find
