#mentalhealthawareness #poetrychallenge ----------------- I can't do right for doing wrong My intentions pure But they go up when it's down they belong Only wanting what's best Knowing after trials That's it's all just a test Youth breeds arrogance In experience we jest But when age brings wisdom Youths ache for decadence When I yearn for eloquence Simple peace with a slither Of refinery and elegance So maybe I'll try wrong and perhaps go down Hold fast and stay strong To keep smiling and erase my frown. Phoenix ~ ______________ So I probably have the incorrect idea as the prompt was #acrostic so I will try for that... but also I saw @the_atelier_project via @kategorical_poet that there was also a #challenge for the mental health awareness month for May and as this is something close to my heart due to family members close to me having suffered severe and mild difficulties throughout my entire life I felt this was absolutely one to jump into. These days mental health is something taken more seriously, but as with illness and pain that people cannot see... it still remains vastly misunderstood and stigmatised with prejudice and disgust... when in fact it is those with ignorance that should be disgraced. -------------- Feel free to hop on board and show your support ~ _____________ #writer #asoulonfire #poetry #poet #reading #inkstagram #words #wordporn #inkspilled #sapiosexual #beyou #openminded #support #nostigma #enlightened #befree #poetsociety
