World Mental Health Day

World Mental Health Day

Don't treat anxiety as mean 
Don't think OCD's just 'clean'
Depressed with legs of lead 
Don't mean it's all just in your head

People die of suicide
When each day they want to hide
Damn stigma of mental health
Hits poor girl to gent of wealth

So if you worry for a friend
Or see a family feigning mend
Stop and talk just say
That you'll support them feel that way
