Time To Get Real... Poem by Sebastian Melmoth

Time to get real to open up and talk about my mental health

Get me out of this trap I've locked myself in, deject the rubbish that needs emptying out of my minds waste bin

Keep the faith that I can be well again and that this moment doesn't have to be the end, the final chapter of my story

Popping my head above the emotional fog no longer blinding my vision

I promise to confide, I won't hide anymore out of the shadows I'll appear

Having the strength to break through to tell myself I am me and always will be

Keep looking for the breakthrough, telling the truth all the way leaving no stone unturned

Reminding myself I am not the only one suffering, united with fellow travellers walking down the rocky road baring mental illness

Caring is sharing, love will always find the lovely, so surround yourself with those who are there not just there for the good times but also put your arms around you when things get bad

Thank you for your support it means so much to make me want to carry on and endure

Only I have the key to unlock the door to walk into hope of a better tomorrow and be free once more
