It's a story untold,
A story unheard.
Keep it under the bush, and it shall become common,
Accept it as any other problem, and it shall become uncommon.
Mistreat it, and it shall block progress,
Treat it well, and it shall counter stress.
Mistreat it, and it shall turn the happy gloomy,
Treat it well, and it shall turn the sorrow bloomy.
Attempts were made, she tried to express,
Ignorance she faced, she had to suppress.
Unknown of the fact that it grew,
The society termed it to be a taboo.
A necessity, rather our greatest wealth,
In good shape we all need, our own mental health.
She dared to speak ,
We stated her to be weak.
through this poem, i've tried to put light on how society (especially in India, relates more) terms depression & mental health-related topics to be a subject of taboo. awareness on these issues is also needed, for this our youth which might go in vain.
