Mental Health and Me – A Poem by Emily

Mental Health and Me

When my mental health is bad,

I feel helpless, angry,

Unmotivated

and sad.

 

But there are steps I often take,

To help improve my mood,

And you can give them a try,

For they may help you too.

 

I go walking with my two dogs,

To clear the mental fog,

I nourish myself with wholesome food,

To chase away the low mood.

 

I limit the hours on my phone,

For social media can make me feel alone,

I watch movies in a relaxing bath,

Especially ones that provoke a laugh.

 

Finally, remember to reach out.

In person, by text, by letter or by phone,

However you’re feeling

Please know that you are never alone.
