“How do you ‘Sea’ my Mental Health
By ‘Tense’-ticles the Octopus 🐙 by Helen Wardropper
When life throws you the obstacles
You simply can’t ignore
Your choice is first to reason
Or throw down to the floor
You simply were just living
Your simple happy life
When trouble came along your way
And threw you into strife
But what is the trouble?
My dear wife said
Its hard to explain- a sort of pain
But only in my head
You cannot see this invisible force
That consumes my little head
I withdraw from you- my lobster friends
And retreat to my sea bed
I lie alone
With just my ink
As days go on
I start to stink
I just can’t face the world today
Or open up, just like a flower
Can’t even get up myself
Or even have a shower
I don’t want to eat
Or to drink
Like a shipwrecked vessel
I start to sink
My seafriends think I’m just being rude
When I decline all invitation
Do they know how bad I feel?
Such a taboo revelation
Then one day, a good old friend
A seaside investment banker
Saw my strife, and my poor wife
And threw me quite the anchor
” I ‘sea’ what this is!”
He declared rather loud
You’re ill my friend
And rather too proud!
Your mental health has declined
And you need some interaction
Let me help, right away!
If only just a fraction
One day at a time
He said kindly, as he brought a shell of tea
The problem with your pain, my friend
Is that no one else can see
So let’s change that for you and all
Get important conversations started
And as quick as he came
My dear old friend departed
I’M NOT OK !!!
I declared to my wife, the lovely Crabby Claire
Don’t worry Tenseticles, you’re not alone
I will always be there
And so I began to share my fear
My pain, my hurt, my enigma
Poor mental health IS REAL you see
Now let’s surf against the stigma
