Many Left Their Beds
And Walked Their Walk
As The Darkness Turned to Light
On Their Own Or With Another In Their Sight
The Lights Burned Bright Outside R.T.E.
Each One For A Loved One
Who Ceased To Be (2019)
A Symbol Of A Soul
Who Is No More
Who No Longer Walks This Mortal Land And Decided To Go Home
Who Took Their Life
Let’s Name It, Suicide
By Their Own Hand
Many, Far Too Many
Are Left To Mourn And Grieve And Understand
We Have Heard Far Too Many Times
They Were The Happy Ones
Appearing Without A Care
Smiles And Laughter Masked The Pain Of Life Hidden Deep Inside
So As We Struggle And Try To Get To Grips With Our Lives As We Live Them Now
For Some Their World Has Fallen Apart
They Don’t Know Where To Start
Go Deep Inside, Into The Well
Express The Pain, The Sorrow, The Restlessness Felt
Learn To Tell One Who Can Hear Your Call
Your Cry For Help
Who Is Present To You In Your Life
Take Off Your Mask
You Wear Each Day
Learn To Trust, And Then To Say
I Am Not Ok
I Am Not Doing Ok
I Am Struggling Through
I Could Do With Some Help
To See Me Through
There Is No Shame
To Ask For Help
You Are Looking After Your Mental Health
Your Mental Wellness, Your Resilience Will Support You Through
Don’t Entertain Those Dark Thought
Felt By Many But Expressed By So Few
It Is The Right Thing To Do
So Pick Up The Phone To Another
Stranger, Family Or Friend
Let Them Know How You Are REALLY Feeling
Don’t Leave It, It Does Not Have A Good End.
