Mental Health

Presently no cure, pill or fix,
Takes away a condition like mine,
With some good support and proper medications,
It helps to bring some joy in my life.

Not to mention those frightening visions,
Ought to provide any person a scare,
For majority alas, its too late,
The rest it could be that love and care.

Think concerning that little girl,
Struggling to hang on alive,
In that shes powerless even still looks up to them,
With this, disorders will soon arrive.

Clumsy, forgetful, mindset all over,
You feel you could just fall and break,
You sleep to only nightmares,
Or racing thoughts to keep you awake.

A glimpse in the mirror,
Brings you hate, sheds a tear,
Your identity is lost only to view what your not,
Knowing its all your brain will ever hear.

Sometimes you’ll feel betrayed,
For its comfort that misguides you,
Just be careful for its only such sorrow,
Disguised as a scarf to wrap around you.

Addictions then take your life,
For its what you know to help the pain,
Others it’s a self afflicting cut,
To watch the blood then drain.

You can’t condone those people,
For you don’t know them self or even why,
In that statistically the majority of them,
Give up then end there life.

Friends come then there gone,
They never want to get to know you,
Never realising you’d make that better friend,
When everyone has gone, you’ll stand beside them, true.

Ill be the one to make a stand,
Make it known were not bad people,
For a quote I seen that’s very true,
Trust doesn’t come with a refill.

Mental illness is shunned by many,
Making us feel like were mere outsiders,
So we do all we can with what we have,
Helping us become great fighters.

You are defined by influence,
Or the choices that you make,
So take it as it comes,
For were allowed to make a mistake.
