A trip to the inchworms outdoors
Let's look at the big , puffy clouds
It's a cat, it's a dog, it's a bird
It's my grandiose illusion
Yea, I agree maybe it's absurd
It's been a long offbeat trip
Socializing and trying to feel adequate

I keep on fighting, holding on tight
Looking for life's purpose
But I can't help to think I'm battling a curse
I say it's all in my mind
My thoughts are my energy
Quickly feelings change
Colors become vivid and intense
People seem happy and chipper
Yet the cycling is never ending
Winter, spring, summer, fall
Until I am barely able to walk
My body slumps into a crawl
The tears in my eyes
The tightness in my chest
I knew this was going to happen
I could have only guessed

But it's ok, the days will get bright again
And the sun will shine again
Knowing that I keep my spirits high
I have conquered so many demons and won
My life is far from being done
I will succeed
I am a fighter, I have fought this far
I will not surrender
Mental illness.. I Declare War !!!!!!
