Yes, This is our Health

Yes , this is our health , your health it is mental health .

Where it doesn’t avoid rich or poor or according to wealth .

It can strike from the youngest to the eldest .

Biting as hard as a shark through your pelvis .

From any household it can affect .

Where we have to stand back & give it that respect .

It doesn’t avoid anyone this is a fact .

So don’t be naive it isn’t in its contract .

So talk to that Doctor or that Nurse .

Before the situation gets so much worse.

And always important to take your meds .

I don’t want to sound too blunt but you could end up dead .

So if the voices or the feelings get that much .

Please ask for some help as a supportive crutch .

Thank you Darren for sharing your poem.
