A Troubled Mind

When life gets you down

And you start to frown

You think you're going crazy

But, your life is just a little hazy

You've a troubled mind

 

When you've a few problems to sort out

And you feel as though you want to scream and shout

You don't know what to do

Or you don't know who to turn to

You've a troubled mind

 

When you start to hear voices

Telling you of your choices

Which are in your head

Telling you to commit suicide and end up dead

You've a troubled mind

 

Before your life was on the brink

But, wait a minute, stop and think

There are people out there

Who will help as they do care

So you don't have a troubled mind!
