The thoughts they don't abide
There is no place to run or to hide
The mind is a dangerous thing
An enemy of the human being
It can all be so very constant
Leaving you sad and despondent
All dreams and aspirations disappear
As your brain does nothing but snide and sneer
There no rationalisation just taunting
Past fears keep on haunting
It's all so constant and daunting
How can life go on?
You can't just move on
Everything and everybody is a con
Distrust and hate
With everyone discriminate
It's all so constant
Living with mental health
You can have to learn to have stealth
Put on a brace face and force a smile
Only backing down once In a while
I can be such an enigma
I want to break the stigma
That is constantly around
I want to make noise and make sound
Break the silence that surrounds
On mental health disorders
So here I will stand
And i want to be help to be a hand
Be socially acceptable
To have no shame because everyone is susceptible
To the constant noise and thoughts

hello karina , i love this ! i deal with mental health problems and at times it can be very hard, it has been and it can be.. but i do have my better days , by better moments, like today ! thanks for sharing this .. i think there is a lof of discrimination around mental illness and it doesnt seem right or fair , people usually dont want to talk about it and sometimes , personally myself , i have even felt like people treat me weirdly or avoid me.. i get what you are saying and i completely understand how horrible the noise and thoughts can be .. such great expression in this.. well done .. x
Thank you and I wish you all the world for your recovery x
Good emotive write, I hope your battle takes you into a peaceful world.
