Poem for Mental Health Awareness Week

 Inspired by Prince Willy
 I rang the Mental Health
 Thinking I could do with
 A bit of that myself
  
 (Don’t get me wrong – they know me
 I’ve been in several times
 I first asked for help 
 in Two Thousand and Nine)
  
 With G.A.D. and B.P.D.
 I’ve been diagnosed
 But when I get my therapy
 No-one seems to know
  
 The kind lady assured me
 That I’m still on the list
 “Keep taking your pills,” she said
 “And try not to get pissed”
  
 “There’s 27 others
 Before you in the queue 
 I wouldn’t get my hopes up
 Dear, if I were you.”
