I’m not mental,
just a little confused.
Before you start the bullying,
THINK, I might have been abused.
You don't know my background,
your life has been smooth.
Before you start the pity,
I’m just as good as you.

I’m not being moody.
I’m certainly not acting mad.
I was brought up to be kind,
the best parents a child could have.
When I see darkness, you see light.
I see sorrow and you see joy.
You see a future,
and I just plod along.

I need help mother,
it's sharp. Everything's gone dark.
Everything seems hopeless,
and my world's falling apart.
Like you know, I don't feel,
a part of what other people do.
I need a friend,
but I want to be alone too.

It's a cry for help.
It's not sympathy I crave.
There’s a big black cloud,
on my very worst days.
I kick and I scream.
fight for all my worth,
I hurt the ones that I love best,
who have given me the earth.

Yes, I have cried so many tears.
Yes, I have lost so many friends.
caused so much heartache,
but now iv made amends.
You should look at me now,
clean-shaven. brand new shoes,
I'm now looking to the future,
it was MIND that helped me through.

There is light at the end of the tunnel,
if you could only reach out.
There are people out there to listen,
to things, you want to talk about.
So if you're out there feeling lonely,
and are reading these lines,
muster all your courage,
please get in touch with MIND.
