The Momma Clan

Health is wealth, or so we are told,
The body feels great, but the mind is cold,
Alone in the dark, I did master stealth,
But silence revealed the truth of Mental Health.

Anxiety, anger, and creeping depression,
How will I ever meet the family expectation?
From all the mighty pressure, comes a suicidal thought,
Has left my mental wellness, to smell and to rot.

Shouting in my room, sometimes I’m screaming,
My ego has dropped; it has stopped me from dreaming.
My life would be drowning; I was stuck in a puddle,
How will I get out? ‘Cause that was a hurdle.

Through the dense fog, there came a messiah,
Called me a good friend, I did call him my best one.
Spent a little time, and I started to figure,
Mental health is getting good, and confidence grew even bigger.

Puddle draining away, did what therapy could not,
Slowly, me at my peak, who would have thought?
A friend was he called, and he did what he could have!
I call him my brother, he did what he should have!

A friend was my savior, anything could have been yours!
Sports, Music, Hobbies or Cars,
Go for a car ride, or just take a break,
Don’t think of suicide, for your loved one’s sake.

Health is Wealth, or so we are told,
Your body is great, now your mind is bold.
Alone in the dark, be your own shining light,
Mental Health is great; all menace out of sight.

We are in this world; we all have a role to play,
Focus on your life; do score on your goal today……………..
