Mental Problems we will fight you!

Mental Problems we will fight you!

by FOCUS Kenya / Tuesday, 27 October 2020 / Published in Integral Missions, Mental Health, Poems

We live in a world, where we choose to be the bearers of our pain and suffering

We choose to die deep in silence, in the nights our own hearts drenched with tears

Tears we don’t even bother to wipe coz the flow is just ceaseless

For all our hearts know is pain

Our hearts are torn, bruised, and bleeding

In the evening we crave for the autumn winds to blow away our sorrows and pain

We even pray for death to take us away, coz the depth of the grave will bury our pain

They’ll say we cowards of life, but for so long we’ve been brave enough to live

Our stories deep, our experiences so bitter, in the mirror a reflection of a broken us, a broken generation

Mental wards we all flogged, deep in the mind battling our own problems

Uncle took away what I treasured most when he raped me, all I have now is major depression

But no one understands my pain, no one is willing to give me a shoulder to lean on

The world calls me cursed, in my arms a child I only see pain

What is life? Is it even habitable when the doctors break that saddest news?

Your loved one you’ve lost, 6 feet down we burry them, our only hope they were

I’m stuck in life I’m a big failure I messed up, they disowned me

In the drugs I find peace, bipolar I fight in the manic episodes I’ve tried suicide

The streets my home, coz mama dropped me next to the bush, and from the hands of vultures I was saved

I only live because of God’s mercies, strength enough for each single day

We try rekindling the light in us, be the bright ones we used to be before the sky fell

But all our life is filled with is darkness, at times, no end of the tunnel, let alone the light

Our hearts shackled, our mouths powerless, stuck

But life needs us to open up, talk to that friend it’s all our battle

We will fight together

Open up, allow yourself to be cared for, pray, you’re not alone

Depression, mental problems we will fight you.
