“YOU TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THESE FEELINGS!” They Say,

“YOU TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THESE FEELINGS!”

They Say,

In in my own way I do

When I make art like THIS! (Instead of seeing a therapist)

I am telling Everyone about “These Feelings”,

And while it may seem self-indulgent – and it probably is.

I like to think that I make a positive difference buy sharing so openly

That being this honest helps those with the courage, to seek therapy – it tells them…

… that they are not alone, …That they are, “not the only one”.

And that feeling of “not being the only one”

May give them the strength to last that extra hour when they need it.

And that extra hour might be all that was needed to save their lives.

It chills me to the bone to think how many lives – well meant, anti-suicide discussion on social media might have cost?                                                        

Silence cost lives!                                                 

Speaking out saves them!
