Mental Health

The mind is a curious thing It ebbs and flows like a stream Sometimes calm, sometimes rough Challenging our inner self-esteem Mental health is often overlooked Dismissed as merely feeling blue But the battles often waged inside Can be far from just a fleeting mood The weight of anxiety can suffocate Like a dark cloud hovering above Depression can consume like a flame Burning out the light and love For some, the mind can be a maze With no clear path to find their way Challenges like bipolar disorder Can make each day feel like a fray The stigma surrounding mental health Can make it hard to ask for aid But healing begins with talking out Those feelings that we've long delayed So let us shed the judgment and shame And start exchanging empathy and care For we all deserve wellness and peace To live our lives in a way that's fair The mind is a wondrous entity A power that can help us soar With the right support and compassion We can unlock boundless mental doors It takes time, patience, and courage To navigate a mental health storm But know that you're not alone In fighting these challenges, you're strong So let us embrace the journey ahead And care for our minds like fragile art For within the confines of our being Lies a beautiful, beating heart.
