Life is so hard;
When you are nuts;
And, you're always thinking;
And, you've got guts;
And, you have depression;
And schizophrenia;
And, every day;
Is filled with mania;
And you are poor;
And you need to live;
And you feel badly for taking;
And you want to give;
And you want to create;
And you want to clean;
You want to care for your man;
And you don't want to be mean;
And you have to give your cats;
Lots of attention;
They don't understand your problems;
Just your good intentions;
And you try so hard;
Every day;
But, your mental illness fights you;
In every way;
Sometimes, it's so hard;
To have such an active imagination;
I need a can of beer;
But, separately I need to take my medication!
I am well aware
