Just give us a break

Just give us a break

As i sit on my own, im left to think, 
Writing down my thoughts in pen and ink, 
One thousand different things running through my mind,
A life without worries, is hard to find, 
I question and doubt myself, day after day, 
Overthinking and analysing in every possible way, 
Some days are good, but then some can be tough, 
Mental health isn't talked about and understood enough, 
Left to feel like weirdos, we think we're loosing the plot,
Wondering how, why, where, 
Who, when and what, 
Putting on a brave face and a smile that's fake, 
Wishing our minds would just give us a break.

There is so much truth here. The silver lining of truth in a world so misunderstood is filled with the irony that we all fall to some sort of troublin' times. I sure do wish someday my mind would give me a break. There's a stigma to one's sufferable mental health in today's world. That's to say the least to be honest. This poem made me think of the song "Mad World" by Gary Jules. Congrats on the feature.

Congratulations on your poem being featured today. Lots of us are saying, "Amen!" There are better ways to cope. I love Chris' suggestion...get a dog and love that dog like it is life. Works for me.
