A smile is just a MASK when the heart is troubled
There’s this weight on your shoulders everyone is blind to
You stretch your hands for help and everywhere’s a no no
They want you tell but when you do, they put you on a stand though
So you’d rather endure than share with judges and jurors
They offer heaven but in stock is a path into hell
You’re doused in confusion as to who you can tell
Trust is not an instruction you make obeyed by a yell
Now here’s the PERSPECTIVE that I am trying to proffer
People provide opinions you don’t ask them to offer
You can’t allow their insensitivity cause you to suffer
Mental illness is like a rain, it doesn’t choose who to cover
So get help!
P.S. You don’t have to go through this alone. Contact folks at Mental-Care Liberia if you need to talk to someone. They will help you out. You are LOVED and you deserve joy.
