Poem: Some people think ‘coz I have a mental illness that in my mind I’m not quite right; shame they don’t know me though as I’m fairly bright,
A disorder in my head they think I’m mad, errr really are they that sad?
Little do they know though that they will reap what they sow, what a shame some are ignorant but ‘hey ho!’
Quietly to yourself you should laugh in their face, all they are doing is showing they’re a disgrace!
All because of a disorder, they think your life’s not in order,
But your thoughts don’t bother me, I’m actually pleased you aren’t my friend, just as well I don’t think of you being around the bend,
I’m telling you all what I think, but is it really you who needs to see a shrink?
In your face I feel I want to hiss, now it’s your choice if you do or don’t dismiss!...
