Cape of Sadness

Everyone says “look on the bright side”
Everyone says “be positive”
Everyone says “smile more”
Everyone says “be happy”
But it’s hard to do that
When my mind is shattered
When my body is battered
When I’m in a darkness I can’t escape

Asylum

They say it’s okay to not be okay
But yet there are asylums
For people that are different
“Not okay” in their mind
