Look, Listen

Mental. Illness.

so many people miss it
It's all around them but they aren't listening
 
Crawling. Gasping.
to get away from depression
Wanting out as it pulls you back in
 
Darkness. loneliness.
that's what it feels like
Lost in this mess with no one listening
 
Look. Listen.
at the people around you
All they need is someone to confide in
 
Friends. Support.
is what we should extend
To all people before they permanently end it
