Your Brain Isn’t Always Your Friend

Your brain isn't your friend,

enemy, mother, father, sister or brother;

it's a part of your body

that acts just like legs, arms and such.

Just like broken ankles,

scratches, cuts, burns and bruises,

we have mental injuries called

despondence, anger and fright.

Our physical health is needed,

so is our psychological and mental health.

We get colds, fevers, flus and viruses,

we also have emotional outbursts.

Deaths, break-ups, bullying,

abuse, trauma and molestation

are all variables to mental illness.

Trips, falls, fungi,

smoking, drinking and getting stoned,

are all factors to casualties and sickness.
