Awareness

By Gregory AndersonPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Time speaks to the emptiness that suffocates

I am here how can this be don’t you see me

Life’s focus at times can be like a drill hollowness leave you feeling invisible

So many struggle to connect fells like a noose around the neck

Words and phrases which try to describe the pain inside

At times it all seems so unbearable one thing is clear they are still here

Rise with the tide some many emotions brewing inside

Seeking something to stop the pain escape becomes the name of the game

Mental health requires support not legislation talked about in court

Some things seem like dreaming when they take the human out of human being

We are the collective that frames the human soul

The consciousness has evolved but grown cold

This burden weighs upon the young and the old

So many who stand up that much is very clear

We must come together and help whilst they are still here
