In Good and Bad Mental Health

 

In good mental health my poet’s heart sings

In bad mental health my hands just wring

 

In good mental health I smile and create

In bad mental health I scowl and I hate

 

In good mental health I fly and I soar

In bad mental health I fear I’m a bore

 

In good mental health I will face the task

In bad mental health I will wear a mask

 

In good mental health I have capability

In bad mental health I have disability

 

In good mental health I think I’m a writer

In bad mental health I am a prize-fighter

 

In good mental health I have credibility

In bad mental health I have durability

 

My mental health is good today

For me to share and show the way!
