Mental Illness

Acrostic poem

Mystery unsolved

Enduring in silence

No known cure

Treatments only

Altered brain chemistry 

Life askew.

Invisible disability

Life in isolation

Like a pariah

Nervous to reach out

Echoes of lost

Societal stigma

Suffering misunderstood.

[BlackRose]

Well written piece of the hurt and pain that continues without knowing why or how to get it all to change for the better. Intense in its ways but really liked this.

Thank you, BlackRose. Yesterday, one of the Canada's major telecoms had their annual day, encouraging people to look at mental health, in different way. In fact, they help sponsor the art therapy program, I am part of.

That's so wonderful and for them to sponsor what you're a part of. That's great that they promote things like this and bring them to light so people can be more aware. You're very welcome.
