My Mind isn't Well - I am 1 in 4

Mind over matter is what they say,
But what if your mind is what gets in the way?
People don’t get it, people don’t understand
The mind is hard to beat, even for the strongest man.

It puts you down, makes you feel low,
Tricks you into thinking you’re better off alone.
My mind isn’t well, but that’s something you can’t see.
You can’t understand how much it’s affecting me.

You don’t see the pain it causes inside,
All you’ll see is the smile I hide it behind.
At times I wish I could open up and say,
“You know what, actually I’m not ok”.

I want to break down, shout, scream and cry,
But fear of being judged means I’ll still hide behind my smile.
My mind isn’t well, and that’s something you can’t see,
My mind isn’t well, and it’ll always affect me.
