'Come alive',
They say.
'Take these pills twice a day'.
'Activate your mind,
Leave thoughts to stay’.
‘But doctor,
I fear,
My thoughts are
Difficult to bear’.
'You think too much of it,
Dear'.
You say.
'Take your belongings
And go home today'.
They say.
'Take these pills twice a day'.
'Activate your mind,
Leave thoughts to stay’.
‘But doctor,
I fear,
My thoughts are
Difficult to bear’.
'You think too much of it,
Dear'.
You say.
'Take your belongings
And go home today'.
This poem is solely about the mental health services in Ireland as of today. They stand with very low standards, not listening to patients' pleas for help. This is so important to understand as a lot of facilities do not facilitate the needs of others practically, becoming judgemental and cold.
