Mental Health: Human Right

All of us have a story to tell,
a chapter in our lives that doesn’t read out loud.
One day you’ll realize, it’ll make you feel proud.
Amidst the crowd, inspiring stories will be told.

Mental health is not simply the absence of mental disorders,
it is also the state of well-being that anyone can have.
With all the knowledge and understanding we dare to share,
we can be each other’s supporters and comforters.

Mental health issues were neglected sometimes,
and the stigma prevails most of the time.
Thus, every person has that battle to hide
which may lead them to die through suicide.

Mental health is a right for all mankind,
thus, we must unite to have a stronger mind.
We differ in the struggles we face in life,
but kindness to everyone helps save a life.

With a simple gesture of checking on everyone,
and willingness to be aware of mental health,
we build a community safer for anyone—
‘til we achieve as what they say health is wealth.

Let empathy flow like waters in everyone’s soul,
and reduce the stigma that society controls.
Everyone deserves a healthy mental state,
making mental health a universal human right.
