Good morning my dear, how do you feel
Be cautious with your thoughts, they’re rarely real
Please remember to take your meds before you start to wane
I promise they’ll do their best to keep you sane
But when you’ve made it through, be patient with your brain
Please remember you’re on meds, your thoughts may refrain
From making any sense, due to the chemical imbalance
Oh, and don’t forget, when you chide yourself for being numb
Remind yourself of the time you nearly bit off your thumb
Trying to pull your mind away from the war raging inside
By forcing your body to set its survival instincts aside
Please take your meds before your day dear,
They help to keep you here.
