ALONE

Too many times I’ve sat alone,
sat there and not answered the phone,
and all because I am prone
to stay all day on my own.

I have suffered a lot in my time
and yet I’ve committed no crime;
I’m here on my bed just lying
depressed, and I’ve just started crying.

My psychiatrist says I’m delusional
- which isn’t all that unusual
if you consider the circumstances for me
- used to be happy, but now I’m not free

to be my old self anymore
but now I do set great store
on this man’s advice, to me he’s so nice
and I trust him and all his advice.

Delusions are such a curse,
but I suffer from conditions much worse
I pray that I’ll keep all my health
- much more important than wealth.

I’ll be back to old me pretty soon
I shall sing my old songs (and in tune!)
- barring relapses that are bad,
and I shall no longer be sad.
