The Thoughts In My Head Go Round And Round

A nursery rhyme about mental health

The thoughts in my head go round and round

Round and round

Round and round

The thoughts in my head go round and round

All day long

*

Depression tried to tell me, 'You're no good'

'You're no good'

'You're no good'

Depression tried to tell me, 'You're no good'

All day long

*

Anxiety told me, 'It's all your fault'

'It's all your fault'

'It's all your fault'

Anxiety told me, 'It's all your fault'

All day long

*

The voices in the dark said there's no way back

No way back

No way back

The voices in the dark said there's no way back

All day long

*

But therapy showed me you can change

You can change

You can change

Therapy showed me you can change

All day long

*

And now recovery reminds me to be kind to myself

Be kind to myself

Be kind to myself

Recovery reminds me to be kind to myself

All day long

*

And my family tell me 'We love you daddy'

'We love you daddy'

'We love you daddy'

My family tell me 'We love you daddy'

All day long

*

And now the thoughts in my head are balanced and fair

Balanced and fair

Balanced and fair

The thoughts in my head are balanced and fair

And I'm okay.

Wow, very cool and interesting poem. Just reading it made me feel like I had voices in my head LOL! I'm glad the character in the poem came to realize that his family loves him.

This is an extremely good and creative poem! I really like how you used a nursery rhyme to tell the story of the poem. It really makes it stand out in its own way. It's clear that you possess talent as I writer! Keep up the good work!
