Mental Illness

When life is tough

And love is down

And all I have

Is a tearful frown.

 

Keep on my mask

Don\'t let them see

All the pain I feel

That just won\'t flee.

 

Throw down the blade

Clean up the blood

Wipe up the tears

And stop the flood.

 

Don\'t be selfish

Don\'t \" oh woe is me \"

No one cares

So don\'t let them see.

 

Who am I kidding?

What keeps me here?

When I\'m ball and chained

By depression and fear.

 

It runs my life

I\'m at the end of my tether

Life\'s falling apart

And I can\'t hold it together.

 

The anger inside me

It boils away

Is my sadness and fear

Here to stay?

 

Let me go in peace

Let the pain wash away

I want to lay my head down

And not see another day.

 

I want to say goodbye

Be a burden no more

To feel no fear, no pain

To feel no sorrow for sure.
