I Am Mentally Ill
Some say I am bewitched
Others believe that I am cursed
Many think I have gone mad
But what they don't know is that I am mentally ill.
I did not choose to be this way
And I did not ask for this
Neither did I wish to be like this
It just came to me just as it might come to you
It makes me see things others don't see
It makes me hear voices others don't hear
At times I become so aggressive that i just want to fight
At times I become so depressed that i just want to be alone.
People have developed fear towards me
While others make fun of it
Some lock me up because they say I am an embarrassment
Only few understand me
My wife I have lost
That even my family have distanced themselves
Because they say I am crazy
They say I have lost my mind...
But what they don't know is that i am mentally ill
And all I ask for is support
With tolerance as my need
To bear with me for I am still a human being.
