Silent Battles

In the shadows of the mind, we find a fragile land,

Where battles rage in silence, a war we can't withstand.

It's a journey through the darkness, a storm that never ends,

Yet in this tale of struggle, there's strength that transcends.

Mental health, a labyrinth, where emotions twist and turn,

A dance of joy and sorrow, a fire within us burns.

The stigma that surrounds it, a heavy shroud of shame,

But let us break these chains, and call mental health by name.

Invisible, yet potent, like the wind upon our face,

It whispers in our conscience, leaves no one in its grace.

Anxiety, depression, and the weight of daily strife,

Are battles that we fight, in the tapestry of life.

But there's hope among the shadows, a beacon in the night,

Support and understanding, a world that's filled with light.

For in our shared experiences, we find a common thread,

A tapestry of stories, where compassion's truly spread.

Let's lend a hand to those who need, a heart that's open wide,

In unity, we'll heal the wounds that fester deep inside.

Mental health is vital, like the beating of our heart,

Let's nurture it with kindness, for each and every part.

So let us speak of mental health, erase the words of shame,

Together, hand in hand, we'll mend the wounded flame.

In unity and love, we'll shatter every chain,

For mental health's a journey, and together, we'll sustain.
