See me I get sad when people look and say I'm madI get depressed sometimes its trueBut I've got feelings just like you
Listen to me if you will I can't wear a badge that says I'm illSo look at me if you can and see the person who I am 
There are others like me its not a gameIt’s very real this emotional pain 
I know out there there are those who caretry and be like them if you dareand I'm looking forward to the day when mental ill health STIGMA goes away
