His Ghosts Of Despair

For many years he has been battling his ghosts of  despair
But you never hear him say that life is unfair
He knows about living life in Earthly Hell
Life is never easy on the mentally unwell
Mental illness it can be said has ruined his life
He does not have children or a partner or wife
Though he is one who is often mentally down
On his good days one of the nicest people in town
Doctor prescribed medication helps to keep him sane
The reason over time so much weight he did gain
He knows what the tough times in life are about
Though often mentally down he refuses to be counted out
Of tough times in life he is he is one who has known
In his one bedroom flat he lives on his own.
