Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
I have schizophrenia,
And so do I.
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
I have schizophrenia,
And so do I.
The poem starts like a typical love poem, but then it shifts to a mental health condition, schizophrenia. The punchline, "And so do I," plays on the idea that the person with schizophrenia is experiencing auditory hallucinations, making it seem as if they're conversing with another persona.
