Ending Stigma

 

End STIGMA 

All face it,
but don't express it.

There is cure to every pain,
Whether it affects you're heart or brain.

Different paths along the way,
But they weren't meant to stay.

In isolation day by day,
Wandering far away.

Scared of voices,
Battling with losses.

Chains will be tight,
The key is to fight.

Stigma encourages secrecy,
Remember health is supremacy.

Stop making false assumptions,
On society's opinions.

Seeking counseling or showing signs such sadness,
Often misinterpreted as signs of weakness.

Try to be more acceptable,
It's a disorder that is treatable.

Family support can help destigmatize,
Treatment and using therapy is the way to normalize.

Treat physical and mental health equally,
Stigma shouldn't be endorsed silently.

It requires a lot more  awareness,
To achieve overall wellness.

Reluctant smile on face,
Everything heals at its pace.
