Troubled Minds

The world is not kind To those with troubled minds A physical pain of someone deemed sane Gets more loving care than the mental pain of someone “insane” How I wish…. I wish… they were both the same. People are not kind To those with troubled minds They can’t understand Insecurity Anxiety … worry Paranoia Obsessiveness Compulsiveness All seem too gory Stress and Depression Pain and Regression Kidney problems are normal Broken bones, mendable But what if it’s hormonal? Mood swings and sighs Excessive laughter and cries Are not understood Why can’t they just be good? Their physical aches Gets medicated with ease With pills of pain relief But mental aches Just bring them grief So they send you off to a shrink. It’s just the same…It’s the same! Both get medicated…in different ways… Yet just the same! Oh world, care for the mind Not just the body Care for the mind And the things that lurk inside The darkness and sighs The forebodings of night Of ending a life Relief is in a happy pill That makes a person less ill Take care of the mind For it’s like any other organ… It feels pain It gets tired It needs to be whole So, have a soul and… Care for those with troubled minds!
