Good Mental Health Poem by Harlan Simantel

give me good mental health
avoid self-deception
lies i may tell myself

subconscious falsities, twisters
that creep with stealth

'the truth will set you free'
so help me
self-honest always be

Revealer, Advisor, Friend and 'Shrink'
be my best
mental health link!

with friends who tell the truth
and clearly see

do whatever i need to avoid
any ridiculous religious
or secular damaging creed

live in balance
not a tire out of whack,
roll smoothly and true
give me my life back!
