Are you wanted?
How do you know?
Talk is cheap
Only actions tell truth
Do your opinions count?
Do they have any meaning to others?
Do you help?
Is it paid any regard?
Do you support?
Is it appreciated?
When you speak
Does anyone pay attention?
Are others just ‘putting up’ with you?
Do you feel ‘trapped’ in any way?
Can you change it?
If you can’t, can you accept it?
It’s important to be in the right place
With the right people
Or life loses its meaning and purpose
You feel isolated
Imprisoned
Depressed
And when people talk about ‘mental health’
They often fail to understand
How many people give up
Stop taking medication
Don’t seek medical help for conditions
Are happy to just ‘let go’
It’s easy to do with burdened and uncaring health and social services
When others are not paying attention
These are the hidden statistics
That no one talks or cares about
Whilst virtue signalling to others.
