Surely You Would Know?

Surely You Would Know? Poor mental health can be genetic though Time only tells if bad luck's come your way If you were marked out surely you would know? At first such symptoms may not start to show It may be late till they come into play Folk will say nothing but we told you so Poor mental health delivers a low blow Destroys more lives than anyone could say And help is hard to access ….oh so slow Those unseen pangs of panic or of woe Are silent predators, as lives decay A quiet mind- what bliss that would bestow! Depression, schizophrenia can grow Like weeds unseen they root, dig in to stay And life becomes a land of constant snow It's found in cottage, housing scheme, chateau The sufferer can't hide or run away When it's inside that makes yourself the foe But if afflicted, you'll already know
