Blue Monday Poem by Sebastian Melmoth

As eyes open fragile like thin ice, I'm told today is blue Monday so please be nice.

Hope hinging on every hour and desperate souls open up like nature's flowers.

Feeling doleful, needing human warmth, human kindness beat this blue Monday blindness.

We love our labels Blue Monday, Sad Tuesday, Woeful Wednesday whatever next, Forgetful Thursdays, disaster Fridays the silliness in whatever comes next.

Trying to keep sanity intact, it's difficult to get to grips it can be easier to just put on an act.

Underlying problems don't just go away, reaching deep finding courage to start to talk and have your say.

Small steps, positive distractions don't look back, for you are you so find the Strength to start the journey in your mental health fight back.
