Mental Health Is A Serious Issue Poem by David Boyce

Mental health is a serious issue

So often it is the case,
That mental health care is in demand,
But often it is for people,
Whose situations have got out of hand.

They need the love and attention,
Only an institution can give,
But they are thrown out into the communities,
To defend for themselves to live.

Mental health is a serious issue,
Without the right medication to take,
And the care and comfort they need,
Or you don't know what decisions they will make.

They often feel excluded from society,
Because of their conditions each day,
But it would often not be an issue,
If they are cared for the correct way.

If you know anybody with mental issues,
Take five minutes to make sure they are okay,
There for the grace of god go I,
Tomorrow could be my day.
