Mental Health.

Here is a poem about mental health.

The struggles of the victims; The onlooker’s perspective.
by Mutwiri Njeru – Baranya .

He was kind and forgiving,
He was loyal and understanding.
He was humble and honest,
He was Generous and Patient.
Empathetic and Compassionate.

No one saw it coming!
And the way he was charming?
And the way he used to laugh?
His jokes were the heart of the party.
He took care of everyone.

No one knew of his fears,
No one saw the tears.
No one felt his pain.
No one knew of the sleepless nights.
No one knew of the financial strain.

I wish he could have reached out.
I wish he could have come to me.
I wish I knew what he was going through.
Was it  money?Was it Love?
“I can’t lose hope.”, they’ll say.
“Life is so beautiful to abandon.”
But in the end we are all alone.
And No one is coming to save us.
