Arms To Fight Our Mental Health

Why don’t they teach you in school 
all the different ways of people 
the narcissists need to control 
their treatment that turns cold 
the manipulators need to hold 
separating heart from soul 

We do not see evil deeds until it is our time to bleed 
the tricksters lies to deceive, the rule book they will never read, 
emotional blackmail or coercion killing the dream of the person 
the tattletales fictional version always depicting who is the worse one

Because those who don’t play by the rules 
don’t stop until you’re miserable 
teaching what’s not taught in school 
so you learn after the fall 

Mental health is on a scale 
success as easy as the fail 
yet with no method to tell 
behaviour heading straight for Hell 

so in this world made of people 
we cannot detect what’s lethal 
taught things which we have no need for 
psychology is what we should teach more 

Armour up our mental health 
protecting us from someone else 
just some knowledge there to help 
so we see evil deeds in stealth 

A radar to protect oneself 
armed to save our mental health

I have a close relative who is bipolar, anxiety depressive, ADHD etal. I am his closest friend and helper. But it's a roller coaster. I don't have any answers, except that I believe the kingdom of God will resolve all issues. Hang in there Nick. Keep writing out the angst. Vent in space

I reckon we’re in anarchy no God no Satan and no sanity, the best place for us might just be a virtual reality. Where there’s no history repeating just angels fighting satanic demons an uncertainty most certainly more certain to be lol if you get me, one or the other not infinite

You're confusing Satan (who is the current world ruler) with God, a common mistake. Just as surely as Hitler ruled Germany etal, and ultimately suffered defeat, so to the Devil's end is near. You might not mind living forever on an earth sans mental, physical, and other diseases eradicated. Anyway, wishing you well

I hope your right about the Kingdom of God although evidence shows us God is not all powerful or not all good, I believe reincarnation will reward us accordingly, if I don’t believe that it all feels like it last for nothing. I’d rather live again than be stuck somewhere for eternity lol
