Once again, sadly
I’m down in the dumps
I battle mental illness constantly
And I’ve taken my lumps
I feel like a prisoner
Trapped by my mind
My cognition is a disaster
Thankfully, hope I find
Days can be up or down
I often lie in bed
I have a frown
I need calm in my head
Hallucinations plague me
They can be quite disturbing
I thank God for antipsychotics, you see
I need a divine healing
I struggle with lethargy
Due to my major depression
I want to be free of this mental malady
I take antidepressant medication
I hear voices from inside
They are difficult to endure
There’s nowhere to hide
I can’t take much more
One day, my mind will be whole
In Heaven, I’ll have no mental pain
Jesus will restore what mental illness stole
This is my joyful refrain
