Mental Health

im not mental
just a little confused
before you start the bullying
THINK.i might of been abused
you dont know my background
your life as been smooth
before you start the pity
im just as good as you

im not being moody
im certainly not acting mad
i was brought up to be kind
the best parents a child could have
when i saw darkness you see light
i see sorrow and you see joy
you see a future
and i just plod along

i need help mother.
its sharp.everythings gone dark.
everything seems hopeless
and my worlds falling apart
like you know, i dont feel.
a part of what other people do
i need a friend
but i wanna be alone too

its a cry for help.
its not sympathy i crave.
theres a big black cloud,
on my very worst days.
i kick and i scream.
 fight for all my worth.
i hurt the ones that i love best.
who have given me the earth

yes i have cryed so many tears
yes i have lost so many friends
caused so much heartache
but now iv made amends
you should look at me now
clean shaven.brand new shoes
im now looking to the future
it was MIND that helped me through.

there is light at the end of the tunnel
if you can only reach out.
theres people out there to listen
to what you need to talk about.
so if your out there feeling lonely
and your reading these lines
muster all your courage
and get in touch with MIND.
