Mental Health

Moth wings aren’t as bright Even when against sunlight No one fears the butterfly Tears smear the maddest cry A man is scorned for life Let him morn let him try Holding on to tender insides Energy driven by his pride Amethyst pain from his brain Licorice lies drive him insane Talk to him about mental health How to listen how to help
