***TRIGGER WARNING***
Mental Health Issues

Just my take on how we keep our mental health crises silent - talking about something I went though. Luckily everything is calm at the moment but just writing this from the perspective of the girl that went through it and how I feel we need to speak up and be more open about what is going on in our interior lives. There is a massive pressure to keep silent on these things but I think it’s important to realise that none of us are alone in the challenges we go through - there is always help available and always a power that cares - I call it God or the Universe but it goes by many names - Love. Writing this for anyone who’s suffering at the moment - know there is light at the end of the tunnel even if you don’t see it right now! ❤️

The stigma of a mental health crisis
The noise is so loud I can’t hear their advices 
As they try to calm the storm 
But it’s the heat that keeps me warm 
And they say it’s best if I keep this quiet
But my interior turned to a riot 
With conflicting feelings and voices aplenty 
It’s been this way since I was twenty 
And felt reality recede from my grip 
It was a pretty wild trip 
As I lay in bed in my college dorm
The girl next door was all bad form
As she broke my shit and stole my ticket
To the ball and I just go with it
Cos I don’t know what to say
Now it feels like I’ve always been this way 
And they label it as a psychosis
But I kinda like the voices 
At least they keep me company in the lonely
And I find it hard to talk when people phone me 
It’s like the words won’t come 
And I succumb 
And roll in the words
Til violence is heard
I need help, I flee into arms 
Say my bell is ringing all kinds of alarms 
And I look fly 
But something’s gonna die 
If I don’t fight my way out
It’s a silent scream that shouts 
As, I, on the train
Can feel everyone’s pain
Like all the boundaries are down
And it’s twelve o clock, get out of town
I meet the door 
And the crashing waves, but it saves, mo stór
As people in foreign lands 
Die and nobody understands
That we’re all one 
And if the sun
Is burning down 
It’s gonna shake all our ground
We are connected
No one’s rejected
And I must speak 
For all those who writhe in their sleep
There is a way out
Of the fear and self doubt 
As waking I sigh
Give up holding onto the lie
