I have been suffering with Mental Illness for years, as most of you know. I have been disabled since 7/85. I wrote this one with that in mind.
This Disease
Mental Illness sometimes
Just brings me to my knees
And I ask God to spare me
Take it away, God, please!
Then I think about another thing
It’s not just me, the numbers are vast
Of the countless ones that have it
I am frightened and aghast.
There are so many that I know
That suffer just like me
Through the never ending horror
In its entirety.
It breaks my heart to see them
Even though I live through it too
But I know God gave me an abundance
Of endurance and the fight to see it through.
I guess God spun a magic wheel
And the arrow pointed to me
When it came to someone to bear it
That’s the one I was chosen to be.
I realize through my tear-filled eyes
He gave me a gift by this disease
I know that I can handle it,
I just keep asking God help me, please!
So I thank God that it’s me
That the wheel stopped on my name
And I’ll just keep go on being strong
Praying others can do the same.
