Analysis of Through the eyes of a mentally ill

Debra mccoy 1993 (Kentucky)



Where most see sunshine and happiness
I see darkness and clouds
Where most see beauty in every day living
I see heartache and pain
When others smile I begin to frown
Living in this world is a battle that most won't understand .
