The essence of my book
I lost my mind
And got it back with time
My mind is a complex thing
Only I know what it is like within
Concealed in my skull
It’s anything but dull
I tried to keep it sane
But it has its own brain
I lost control and got it back
But it’s that trust I lack
Not knowing what comes next
I converted my thoughts to text
To try and understand
Before I’m buried in the sand
I kind of know how you tick
But to society I am sick
Labelled as mentally ill
But I have a strong will
To conquer my brain
And learn how to maintain
A level of sanity
Enough to have clarity
And function within the norm
Without causing a storm
I lost you twice
As I rolled the dice
Gambling with my mind
Because I didn’t know what kind
Of illness I was dealing with
Now I know schizophrenia it is
I try to make my peace
With a mind that is never at ease
Now I wrote this book
And that much suffering it took
To describe my mind
But I think now it is perfectly timed
To share this book
With all the pain and sweat it took
I hope to spark a conversation
That puts us on track to that far destination
Where acceptance is key
And we can all live free
