Lost My Marbles

My mind is in shambles,
I lost my marbles

My mind is frying,
I am always crying

I am shouting on the phone,
“Leave Me Alone!”

My life has changed,
I am always deranged

I smashed my office table,
Because I was unstable

My boss gave me the sack,
My God please, give me my sanity back

I do not have money for bread,
I am banging my head

Lock me up, Lock me up,
I cannot shut up

I do not want to eat any more,
My mind is sore

I look out the window, I see rain,
There is great pain, in my brain

I am bored,
I do not have enjoyment,
To regain my sanity I adored,
I need medication for unemployment

If I do not take daily shower,
How am I supposed to recover?

Please pray for me,
For God’s sake,
If I want to be mental illness free,
What medication, I need to take?

Why I am Crazy

2016

Medications

I take my medication every day,

So that I always feel, okay

I always take my medication,

Even when I travel on vacation

My psychiatrist always gives me prescription,

To stop me believing in crazy fiction

I want you to see,

How my medication really helped me

Medication makes me feel alright,

It helps me sleep like a baby at night

When I meet my friends I tell,

That I am feeling really well

I now have no fear,

The pills make my struggles disappear

No more drinking beer,

I will start a music career

I am now under control,

I want to perform rock and roll

I no longer have a crazy mind,

I want to put my past behind

I want to turn my diary page,

Soon I will perform on stage

I will make enough money to eat as a pig,

Right after my first performance gig

I will sing my way to wealth,

Also, improving my mental health

A prescription alteration,

Can help you find a good medication

Once I have a career and a wife,

I will live a normal life

I will not need any treatment at all,

If perform my songs in full hall

Soon I will work as hard as bee,

Because I will feel no mental pain,

Then my psychiatrist will tell me,

That I do not have to see him ever again

Completely Deranged

I like to do art,

However, my friends went on scientific frontiers,

Because I am also very smart,

Like my friends I studied physics for many years

When I finished my studies there was no money,

And I could not eat grass like an Easter Bunny

I did not want to rob,

I needed a job

However, I could not design a nuclear reactor,

So I decided to become an actor

I got a role as cardinal in Pope John Paul the II catholic play,

However, before I could celebrate it was taken away

Next week I was the Pope’s Swiss Guard,

The original actor was away with no shame,

I was removed next week before I could start,

Because the original actor finally came

I am shouting in the theatre hall,

I wasted my life on drugs and alcohol,

I do not need meditation,

I have to go to rehabilitation

Coming back to the art,

I bought my supplies at Kmart

My sculpture looked like a pyramid stack,

The clay was cheap thus had a crack

People did not like my work,

It looked like a piece of cork

When I painted a face,

It was out of place

I did not have a clue,

Why it looked like a shoe?

Experts said it was apparent,

That my cheap paint was transparent

There was too much competition,

My work was not accepted for exhibition

I tell my family I need a rest,

They said: “Don’t be a welfare pest!”

Thus instead of vacation,

I started an environmental organisation

When I complained about coal pollution,

People said: “Go to mental institution.”

I lost hope,

I need to see the Catholic Pope,

I am now insane,

There is no hope for me,

“Who is to blame?”

“God and society”

I have no wealth,

My psychiatrist is looking after my mental health

He prescribed so many pills,

That I could not pay for my meals

I lying in bed,

I am banging my head

I feel sad,

Because people are bad
