What We Seek

Mental illness are words people are afraid to speak
When happiness is all we seek

From a place of darkness we rise
Should not come as any surprise

Even when we fumble
Please realize it's just a stumble

Anhedonia is where we're at
Enjoyment is what must begat

Mental illness is not planned
Understanding is all we demand
