Uneven Ground

They take over the mind first, and then the soul And then work their way through the body Leaving a gaping hole With not much to do, and with little support All we can think about, is one word - “Abort” We talk ourselves in, and talk ourselves out Left to our minds, with much to worry about Eventually we share, with another we love And slowly gain hope From somewhere up above But not all who suffer, can rise from the great fall Mental illness takes them over - Leaving one desperate call As much as we speak, and put others down Our words can do more, than make others frown So take out some time, from your busy life Listen and help another, Rise above their strife It may seem dumb, or to be of no avail But the strongest fall harder; They suffer and become frail This generation is ignorant, and has been caught unaware Of the world hidden Behind those empty stares Be careful, and handle with care And give others hope, when no one is there The road is long, and certainly tough But sometimes comfort, Just isn’t enough The battle is silent, and on uneven ground And often times fear and sadness Takes away the sound So look with your heart, and not with your eyes You never know when silent support Can save someone’s life
