Life can be hard

And none of us have all the answers

We might struggle in different ways

But we all suffer from time to time

We can bottle things up

Kidding ourselves that we’ve got it sorted

Often, we don’t discuss or share

Through fear of being judged

We continue to struggle, because

We’re scared of people knowing we’re struggling

Despite what we might think

We don’t have to face things on our own

We can all talk, but real talking isn’t easy

Those that really care, will really listen and not judge

Talk to a friend, talk to a relative

Talk to a non-judgemental service

Don’t let that negative inner voice, that reverberates in us all

Dictate and define your challenging thoughts and feelings
