Mental Illness

Some people just could not accept that it is the brain,
Not the metaphoric heart.

Something is wrong with this brain,
And it is not of my doing,
It is not of my wanting.

Some people just do not want to acknowledge that there are things in this body not under my control,
Not under my authoritative plan,
No longer a mind-over-matter thing;
It is a matter to be reckoned with.

It is to be respected,
To be understood,
And to live with.



Loved and Lost,
Lina.
