I'M Schizophrenic, But I'M Not

I'll share with all of you on this subject all I've got.
You see, I think I'm Schizophrenic but I'm not.
You've heard it said so many times before 
that if you think you're crazy rest assured, 
you most probably, certainly are not.
Those with such extreme ailments of the mind lack the ability to define what's crazy and 
what is not.
So just to be sure I'll say it once more. I'm Schizophrenic. There I said it, so I'm not.
Am I Schizophrenic to see the many things that disturb me 
here in what normal people call reality?
The major corporate pharmaceutical companies are a multi billion dollar industry. 
They're making billions of dollars off of others much like me 
for their investors, stock holders and the CEO's of the companies. 
Very little money goes back into legitimate research of the medical community.
Their motives are for profit not to help others like me. 
If they cured us all, profits would fall. Next stop bankruptcy.
They keep us believing while they continue their feeding us meds that there's a possible cure 
in a pill.
Better yet, a combination of medication would be their more preferable prescription for you 
to fill.
Most if not all prescription drugs will pretty much guarantee 
annoying side effects be they mild or severely.
There really isn't any need for you to worry though. 
They'll prescribe for you anti side effect medication before you go
make your next appointment to come and see them again, so they can prescribe more pills 
and draft more bills over and over again.
Do you sometimes fear that there's not a sincere effort coming from them 
to find a real cure or true treatment to help you with my friend?
Oh-oh, do you smell a conspiracy 
or am I just being paranoid like a schizophrenic ought to be?
It's been a while since I said it. I better give it another shot.
I'm Schizophrenic. There, I said it again, so once again I am not.

Medication for me has never ever done the trick.
It just makes me nauseous, leaving me feeling very sick.
I'm proud to say that I'm currently 100% medication free.
I now deal with my pain naturally.
