Riots,

Screaming,

Everyone wants to be heard,

Only few get through.

 

We're beginning to learn

The importance of these topics;

Mental health,

Suicide,

The words you say matter.

 

Yet, still, some people are ridiculed,

or fear it.

Not wanting help

for fear of being "crazy"

Looking "crazy".

 

I find men are less willing

to seek help

their masculinity at stake.

Yet,

deep down,

they want to be noticed too.

 

Medias false representations

Personal mental accusations

All I can do is scream.

"Brains matter too!"

"Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's there!"

 

I tell my friends it's okay to feel

Okay to want to heal

I try to help

so they'll be real again.

 

Loving yourself is hard.

Without support, it's harder.

Look around

Help your friends, 

your family

Support them

Find your support too.
