THE BATTLE
poem by:
Steven Godfrey
Written

Positivity has eluded me for a good while now, A silent illness , society doesn't allow , If only more people understood , Instead of being judgemental and down right rude . It is a stigma that gets attached to you , Some mock and laugh , if only they knew , Fighting a battle mostly in stealth Does not discriminate your race ,religion or wealth . To defeat feelings inside may be a lifelong battle , Doctors give out medication ,dont shake or you will rattle, Try never to discard someone who is feeling depressed Your compassion and kindness is like a gentle caress, When dark thoughts enter your head , Try to open up things need to be said , Reach out to someone any one you can, Life is precious ,sadly it comes with no plan .
