PLEASE SHARE THIS POEM TO RAISE AWARENESS THAT SOMEONE YOU KNOW MAY BE SUFFERING IN SILENCE. PEOPLE ARE RAISING AWARENESS FOR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. WE CANNOT TELL BY LOOKING AT SOMEONE, HOW THEY FEEL INSIDE. BE THERE FOR EACH OTHER. Thank you for reading this post. LOOK INTO THE MIRROR Look into the mirror, What do I see? For only I, know the real me! I may put on a smile, as I walk through the door, But deep down inside, I feel insecure and unsure. My emotions I very often hide, I don't tell a single soul, But I tried. People often say "How are you today?" I will tell them, "I'm fine." Then I'll be on my way. Even if someone seems fine, Just check they are really ok, Don't ignore, They may need your help and support, Just a little more. For when we have the love of friends and family, That maybe all it takes, To brighten up their day, And the happiness it makes. Be there for each other, Let's them know that you really care, Even in difficult times, A hug with them you will share.

So true Jeanette, no one knows what anyone is going through, a smile on a face cam be fake, hiding someone’s inner heartache… Belle

Jeanette first of all a big hug to you! Being truly vulnerable in this world and speaking out about something that honestly affects every human being in a very direct manner is truly heartwarming. As so many of our poet and poetess friends have said before me. So I will be direct with you it is an honor even know that such an empathetic soul exists. Utter respect A.S.

Jeanette, your wonderful poem is so well crafted, and covers a topic often neglected-mental health, which is just as important as physical health. Thank you for sharing this excellent poem.

Yes, more awareness is needed, to give support to those who are suffering in silence. It is an important topic. Thank you for reading my posts and for your kind comments.

Dear Jeanette, you're a very kind and precious soul! This write definitely tugged at my heartstrings and true, many are suffering in silence, who might show that they are okay but their souls are actually quitting every second.. Sigh. This is a brilliant effort to raise awareness and you're so kind to do this! "My emotions I very often hide, I don't tell a single soul", "Even if someone seems fine, Just check they are really ok" I felt these emotions deeply. A FAV for me..

Jeanette Brewin

Thank you so much for the fave. Yes, more awareness is needed. Many people have been through such difficult times, but don't want to ask for help or just talk to someone,(sometimes they feel shy). Just knowing that you have got someone to turn to to say how you are feeling, can help. Thank you for your kind comments.

Yes, awareness is very important. People often struggle to talk about how difficult things may be for them and don't get the help and support they need. Someone to talk to can make such a big difference. Thank you for your kind comments. I appreciate the feedback.

I really like this - a heart of compassion always considers what the other soul is experiencing. I agree with Ink that the line ending in ".. I tried" has a real sense of us wanting to be better at connecting and sharing, perhaps being more vulnerable but something stops us. A fear of appearing weak? I am a victim (as many men are) of self-containment. A powerful reminder and lovely write, Jeanette :)

Thank you. Yes, it can affect many people and can make such a big difference if you have someone to talk to. All of us have stress, just in different ways. It's good to know there are people around to support people who need to discuss their concerns. It does help. Thank you for your kind comments and for reading my posts.

So true so many are suffering in silence, we never know what someone is going through, its good to always remain. Kind and be compassionate. You’ve expressed and described how a person feels , i especially felt it when you wrote “ My emotions I very often hide, I don't tell a single soul, But I tried. “ i think many can resonate. Love your rhymes too! Well written and delivered

You are very kind and considerate, Jeanette. Beneath the facade of a calm appearance, there may be turbulence and heart aches. What they need is a kind word, a gentle pat or an assurance of some little help. Such an approach can make a lot of difference. A beautiful inspirational poem.

My medication brings forth occasional bouts of depression. So I can relate to your poem. However I personally do not let depression take the upper hand.
