A poem about depression among women by Sarala, exclusively for Different Truths.
Why was Sheila alienated
From the society?
Give me an answer!
This mental health disorder
Are gripping children to
Youth to old age!
Ever since she has been
Diagnosed with depression
She is mocked at
And not allowed to attend
Any celebrations as she is
Dressed not well and shying away
From outside world!
She is unable to sleep
Nor concentrate on her work
No interest in dressing up
Nor go out!
She would sit quietly in her
Darkroom looking blank!
Nothing is working in her brain
And negativity controls her
Very being
Not able to enjoy anything
Nor can she smile at any joke!
Isn’t time we wiped out
The stigma of various mental
Disorders which are handicapping
Many!
If you are a human instead of
Alienating the person
Take her or him to a psychologist
And get them treated by professional
Psychiatrists and help her get out
Of her gloom caused by the illness and alienation from
The society which is destroying her slowly but surely!
