Mental Illness
Angry mental torture kidnapped my brain.
The quiet bliss that I once knew is gone.
Peace in my mind may never be the same.
I cannot tell upon whom lies the blame.
What cruel words became agony’s spawn?
Angry mental torture kidnapped my brain.
An evil fire set my dreams aflame.
The joys of life have from my soul been drawn.
Peace in my mind may never be the same.
Satan danced and in triumph called my name.
He laughed because my hope was truly gone.
Angry mental torture kidnapped my brain.
Demise by wicked words he would proclaim.
Helpless I lay down like a newborn fawn.
Peace in my mind may never be the same.
An Angel with kind words came to reclaim.
The wicked devil’s words are just a con.
Angry mental torture kidnapped my brain.
Peace in my mind may never be the same.
