How should we approach mental health—with ourselves? With friends? Our children?

What is that dark
holding
your hand?
Its color lacking or
concealed, reaching—
It moves
its gaze around your body
like a child
with a magnifying glass
killing ants in the sunshine. It is
walking step by step
with you like a shadow
of the heavy backpack the one
that held in
every textbook the first week of school
when you
thought you had to bring them
all to class.
Remember
how tough it was to zip up?
