My brain is broken

At least that’s what I thought

My brain is broken

My time has been bought

 

Why can’t I wake up

Or fall asleep

My thoughts in my mind I can’t keep

 

I tried my best

To make everyone proud

But this time I failed the test

 

Mental health they said

It’s your mental health

No more need for dread

 

Don’t be hard on yourself

You’ve been through a lot

Put those harmful thoughts on the shelf

 

Then they asked me to talk

Talk about what?

Feelings.

Oh.

 

But as soon as I did

Out came my inner kid

And life seemed to be okay

 

I’m back at school

I’m back to life

No longer lacking in fuel

 

My brain isn’t broken

No rather it’s filled with glee

My brain isn’t broken

It’s finally, finally free
