Poem for Mental Health Awareness

 

I smile to hide the pain but in reality I fail desperately

There is someone who sees beyond my fake smile

I put on a front for others and pretend like I’m strong but barely

But that front can only keep up for a while

Rolls of tissue lay peacefully on my bedroom floor

Their peace interrupted by the chaos clouding my mind

In my moments of crying I clench my head to the pillow as the tears pour

However in this moment God is who I find

 

-Scharlee.

This blog was created during my first term of Law School. This journey has truly been a roller coaster ride and I want you guys to come on this journey with me as I go through the ups and downs of surviving as a young adult and I hope you're inspired by some of the lessons I've learnt along the way.
