Mental Illness

Disorders that affect your mood, thinking and behavior.

A constant struggle, day by day
A war within, that won't go away
An invisible weight, upon the mind
Leaving one feeling lost and confined

Anxiety, depression, bipolar too
Many faces, this illness can ensue
They don't discriminate, they don't care
They can strike anyone, anywhere

It's not a weakness, it's not a choice
It's a battle, that one must face
For too long, it's been in the wrong light
But it's time to break the lies

It's not just sadness, it's not just fear
It's a constant battle, that's always near
It can take over, and steal your light
Leaving you in a never-ending fight

Seeking help, is not a sign of defeat
It's a brave step, to admit your seat
In this battle, against your own mind
But with support, you will surely find

That you are strong, you are brave
And together, we can break the cave
Of too much fear and shame

We're not for hiding, not to blame

Just because we need help for the pain to go away

Now's the time, now is just

We're alive, ready to strive 

and that's enough.
