Tori Shepansky Poet Free verse

Hiden behind societys walls

We all fight a silent war 
Our hearts and minds feel the ache 
Yet we hide behind walls
Try not to break

They say It's not that bad
we have control 
Though they don't know
How it hurts my soul

This wasn't our choice
But it's there
A deep angry voice 

Whisperings secrets in our ears 
Making us anxious
Displaying our fears

Though it may be better now 
We need to dampen the stigma 
We have to figure out how

Let’s break these walls 
Let us breath
Let it all out
Let us grieve

If you see someone down 
Lend a hand
We could fight it 
If together we stand 

Our illness is not a weakness
We must listen to our hearts
Open up
That's where the healing starts
