Away, away, leave me be, I am not what you need of me, I can not offer a constant mood, Feeling mentally broken and skewed. Away, away, at arm’s length, I am without emotional strength, I do not call, message or speak, Feeling so lost, lonesome and bleak. Away, away, with good intention, One that…
I am the voice that isn’t you, Tainting every thought with doubt, Whispering words, all untrue, Rationality seeping out. Tainting every thought with doubt, Repeating questions over again, Rationality seeping out, Why do I feel this mental pain? Repeating questions over again, Are you sure you locked the door? Why do I feel this mental…

Appreciate your ins and outs, Set your dreams and desires free, Let affirmation drown the doubts, Internal kindness is the key. Set your dreams and desires free, You are more beautiful than…
Today is Time to Talk Day, implemented by the mental health organisation Time to Change. It aims to end the stigma around mental health through communication and taking the time to talk about the issues, rather than hiding them. I was made aware of this stat by a friend who attended a conference recently where…
Does a tree wish that it bore more fruit? Or a plant long for blossoming flowers? There they stand, majestic and mute, Silent and stoic, through days and hours.
