*Journey*
This is a journey that started when I was a young teen,
Back then I was only thirteen.
It was the first time i felt so low,
It was the time my mind ran so slow.
I never spoke of it to anyone,
Because I thought i would be understood by none.
I suffered mentally,
I got depressed
I become an introvert
None came up to know why I changed.
Until it all unravelled when I was twenty one,
I reached my maximum point at once,
I called out of help and a stranger came on my rescue,
I was almost there,done with it.
She changed me,a stranger who become a friend,
Who knew my whole analogy,
Of whom knew my end,
I disclosed everything
I enrolled for therapy,
Two years down the lane I was happy.
I decided to opine,
Talk about my journey in the open
I formed forums on mental health,
For sure ave seen them yield
Today I see a community where mental health is understood,
I see a community where there is no more stigma,
I'm happy am achieving though ave not reached my destination.
*Its okay not to be okay*
Mind my mind.
