I am aware I should be upbeat and positive,
Radiating hope and prospect,
But, the fact of the matter is, I simply cannot,
I can’t.
Mental ill health, I hate you,
I hate you for the stress you have added to my otherwise tranquil life,
I hate you for the fact that I have to be alert all the time,
I hate you for the worry I now live with,
Mental ill health, I hate you,
I hate you for taking away the person I love
I hate you for the times I simply run out of patience
I hate you for making it so hard to show them the way
Mental ill health, I hate you,
I hate you for making me the villain
I hate you for the guilt you’ve left in your wake after the hard choices are made.
Mental ill health, I hate you,
Because it’s a battle that will never end…
