TO ESCAPE MENTAL ILLNESS
You can run and hide
and admire the calm
sea tide
You can have a friend
by your side
But you cannot get
away
For mental illness is
out to cause you mass
dismay.
You feel so worthless
as you lose interest
to live
So you now go on a
mission - your enemies
you forgive.
You feel low and isolated
and you wish to end
your life
Because mental illness
is causing you so much
strife.
There is no hope as
you just want to be set
free
So you plan your exit
as soon as you've had
your tea.
Your feelings are at
rock bottom - you only
want to get away
You care nothing of
your friends and family -
you're suffering so much
dismay.
You have no zest for
life - and you see no
hope for you at all,
You once were very
happy - walking ten
feet tall!
Your journey's end is
now here - peace is
almost here,
You see the place of
heaven - as you shed
a little tear.
This life is a wretched
one - the media is
to blame
My life is now over - or,
is it just a game?
Some people say; talk
to someone - oh, yes,
it is that easy,
You're dying inside your
body - it really is so
crazy.
But there is no light at
the end of my plight -
the loneliness is there
It is time for me to go
now - I seriously do
not care.
My time on earth is
now complete I go to
a better place,
Up to Heaven is my
quest - to escape the
human race.
