Mental Health 101

by James Zealy

When pain overwhelms me
I pen the conflict away

When feelings of passion consume me
I expose them in verses of tranquility

When anger infiltrates me
I rant expletives of verbosity

When sadness devastates me
I allow each stanza to appease my misery

When frustration exploits me
I step into my poetic psyche

When betrayal exposes false empathy
I write aghast wow, really?

When platitudes speak mockery
My instincts sense autocracy

When real feelings are displayed truthfully
I document my appreciation infinitely

When pretences of solutions lack equity
My poetic voice shouts in silent efficacy
