What I Would Change

What would I change?

Well... Let's see. 

I would get rid of mental illness

like the kinds I see in me. 

 

Mental illness isn't a joke,

It is all quite real.

It kills us inside

Due to all the pain we feel. 

 

It may seem pointless,

Trying to save people hardship,

But when you suffer day to day,

And feel their pain,

All you want to do is take it away.

 

With the wave of a wand,

Or a magic spell,

I would cast away mental illness

Before the population fell.

 

Our worst enemies do not deserve it.

Neither do you.

One day the world will see mental illness

as a big problem too.
