A Prayer to Deal with Mental Illness

My heart is on fire

Hot like burning sand

On all banks I see crocodiles

In the marshes of my mind

I find nothing but snakes

My own ka is a dark place.

Sekhmet,pour cool water

Upon my heart.

Aset, grant me freedom from

The snakes as you protected

Your son Heru.

May the crocodiles be not hungry

But the Lord Sobek shining

In the bright light of my soul

Like Ra forever and ever.
