"The blank page"
Mental health a new scourge a cesspit of damaged thoughts..is it really?Â
"A new age..or just a blank page?"
To many people have suffered, to many people have died...one or two have even cried.
"Is it all the rage..or just a blank page?"
Is mental health real or a made up excuse..just to sit on your arse..to become a recluse.
"You're locked up in the cage..or is it your blank page"
Worldwide we suffer, yes there's plenty around..your mind..your brain..pound! Pound! Pound!
"Still we accept it's the wage..and not just a blank page"
Suffer in silence let nobody in, imperfection brings forth sin
"mental health a brand new rage!..for I myself have a blank page"

Hi Keith, I'm not sure if this is knocking the idea of mental health or supporting it. Regardless we are all entitled to a personal view and your creative words put it out there on the table. For myself I know depression and all kinds of mental health issues exist...our own heads can become our nightmare enemy. It is a killer...of spirit, of function, of hope and often, sadly, the sufferer. Hugs x

Hi Marion
I am in full support of mental health, I am currently in a situation mental health wise I have never been in before. I always thought through my naivety it was something easily overcome. However I now realise that this is not the case, personally succumbing to mental health problems has definitely opened my eyes to how widespread it is and how it affects both young and old.
My entry was just highlighting how well minded people can often judge those suffering mental health issues, hope it didn't offend as that wasnt my intention, thank you for kind comment

I'm sorry to hear you are in a black place Kieth and I.know exactly what you mean because its easy to dismiss what cannot be seen because often the sufferer can function whilst silently suffering ( happened with my brother in law years ago...laughing joking went home hung himself) and sometimes the sufferer can't function at all. I've had bouts of depression all my life yet I'm highly functioning..I work etc... but when I'm bad I withdraw and can't function at all. Writing helps don't you think? Not offended love, I'm.glad you are airing the issue...really hope you find your light again...hugs x

Hi Marion
I know I will get back to being me lol, last time I don't think I helped myself, this time I've used "every mind matters" met up with people having same low points.
Definitely the way forward for me. A little time out from work also helps, gives me time to address my issues my way.
 So sad to hear about bro in law just shows how deep this can go. Like you I work and fully functioning then it hits you like a steam roller, but onwards and upwards it won't beat me I can guarantee that.
hugs back to you to xx
A clever write. I liked the twist at the end where you yourself have a blank page. We are all potentially a car crash in the making in this society that urges us to live against the grain of life. Yet too few people understand the depth and complexity of the brain. How paralysed we can become through suffering mental health problems. It’s true for many, awareness doesn’t happen, until they experience it first hand. Reminded me of that song by depeche mode “walking in my shoes”
 A good writeÂ

Thanks Gwen
I haven't been on cosmo in a good while as I couldn't dedicate enough time to writing and catching up on other reads which I used to enjoy, hopefully I can spend a it more time on it now and give the writers the credit they deserve for such brilliant work..x
Hi Keith, all good. I myself only returned about a week ago. Although I am struggling still to be as active as I once was. Like you I don’t like to post and not comment. Life can pull us away at times. I hope all is easing up for youÂ
take careÂ
