Many People In Their Minds Poem by Francis Duggan

Many people in their minds carry baggage at least this is how it does seem
Some people are victims of the past and some suffer of low self esteem
Some develop a mental illness the workings of the mind in strife
Their calming effect medication their cross it is with them for life
In life everyone cannot be a winner some must lose for one for to win
The will to live on through the hard times does come from a strength born within
The people who do not have such mental strength in them sometimes end their lives in suicide
From our cares and stresses and worries for us there is no place to hide
Many by the mental baggage they carry in their lives are weighted down
Such people are of all classes and races in every village and city and town
Suppose everyone cannot be near to perfect this is how it is and will always be
Those without mental or physical health issues seem lucky as people to me
Many people in their minds carry baggage strange the workings of the human brain
Why this should be even the top health specialists do find rather hard to explain.
