Why must I take a pill
So l don’t act insane
If I don’t I am told I’m ill
Just what is it that I gain
The pain, it drives me
It is always on my mind
How will that make my life normal be
When the right stuff they should find
Everything I had, I lost
My wife, my house, my shop
It is too much of a cost
When my bad thoughts others want to stop
Will a pill make me fine
When will happiness come to me
Is my mood a troubling sign
That normal I will never be
When I suffer from things unseen
How can I be helped
What is it that it brings
When this trouble is what is felt
Others have God’s Blessing
Their lives are oh so prefect
With me the dark powers always mess
I’m the one they always hurt
