Mental health is often neglected and there is real dearth of awareness. As a psychologist I feel that when things go wrong, lack of understanding leads to self-diagnoses and misdiagnosis of the problem at hand making things even worse. Here is a poem I wrote to create awareness about Mental Health exists. Please share your views.
Hey there! How are you!
Who am I? I am You!
Your memories, your thoughts, your emotions,
I am at the core of all that you do.
Since when?
From the time you were born
Till the time it will all end.
I was there
When you were in your cradle, crying,
You were wet, but your parents were busy fighting.
I know how you felt when at school,
Everyone laughed when that boy said 'You're a fool'.
You liked colours and beauty and hands tainted with paint,
But you studied what you dreaded the most without complain.
Oh yes! The divorce, how can I not know
The pain, even after years, within you grows.
I used my defenses..
I tried to repress it all.
Remember
Those long working hours.
Loosing yourself at the pubs and bars.
That friend who used you over and over again,
But you felt wanted, it was all part of the bargain.
But this is not how it works.
Those traumas won't just disappear.
I worked alone all this time,
Tell me, how will things be fine?
Acknowledge me, take charge.
Trust me, its won't be so hard.
Know me to know who you are
Please take care of me, so we can go far.
