Mental Health Episode

An episode may come and go
When it will come you will never know
From the left or right or head on
The way to beat it is to stay strong

Emotions and thoughts they run wild
Sometimes you just wish you were a child
Stay strong and try to remain upbeat
Keep your self on your feet

Find someone whom you can talk
Or find a place to go for a walk
Clear your head and find that space
Only you know your safe place

Fight or flight is in the mind
If you run that would be unkind
Stand tall and fight the demon within
This is the only way you can win

Head on they say is the only way
To put these thoughts to bed one day
It wont just happen over night 
This will be one long fight

But when you’re feeling on top of your game 
You will win and no more pain
Keep those you love close and near
They will help rid you of the fear

Sadness, loneliness feeling of remorse
Guilt, Anger and pain of course
Some of the feelings you may get
Waking up in the night soaking wet

These dreams you’re  having 
Keeping you awake 
Positive thoughts you need
For your own sake

Happy times that make you smile
Will help you through this last mile
When it rears its ugly head 
Remember what this poem said

Stay strong, remain calm
You can win
What happened to you 
Is not a sin

You are worth your weight in gold 
Shout out and let the world be told
What you have encountered is truly sad
You’re an amazing lady or lad.
