MENTAL HEALTH

Madness is the rational response to a crazy world

MENTAL HEALTH

Another beer
cant hide the fear
behind painted  smiles.

Darkness lies
in vacated eyes
found in another file.

Turned paranoid
lost in the void
as the world walks by.

Misunderstood
lost in the woods
caught in her mind's eye.

More medication
won't cure a nation
drugs just pacify.

The cavalry lost
at such a high cost
watching time fly by.

Sensitivity sits
brains blown to bits
by society's restrictions

Shattered shells
locked in cells
creativity constricted

Unurtured flowers
killing hours
time to be replanted

A nations wealth
it's mental health
too often taken for granted.
