Mental Health

When the world seemed joyful and cheerful,
I smiled and laughed, had no time to be dull,
The colours all around were vibrant and bright,
Felt I was looking around, at an eagles height,

Then the passage of life got in the way,
Shaping an uncontrolled path throughout the day,
Unbearable pace, to much, an outgoing fake,
Every day it was harder to break,

Not understanding  this hopeless sad feeling,
Just the little words sent me reeling,
Locked in my mind, made, dark prison,
Cant explain what's happening, who will listen,

So if your reading this feeling in an abiss,
There ARE people who will listen, sending hugs & a kiss.

Lovely! Mental health should be taken seriously and just by being a listening ear sometimes is most needed

Yes it's sad how many people have it and don't even know what's happening. Thank you ~ Jeff
