The Misfits

It sadens my heart to watch especially elderly people to suffer from mental illness. It can happen to each and one of us. It also takes a special person to sit with them and listen and to brighten their day. You are certainly one of them. Be blessed

this spoke to me on a deeper level
truly touched
amazing piece, loved it :)

embracing your inner demons is not something everyone knows how! glad to see how you portrayed "mental illness and its sufferors" as something 'not negative' , unlike what most people do.

loved this one. so much relatable.
thanks for sharing xx

Andrea,

I love love love this poem. Because i can relate so much to this. I cannot relate to your perspective BUT i am one of the people you speak of, a misfit, outcast. Whichever word you want to use here.

I do love how you did this in your perspective though that is really telling. You get a glimpse of what it is like to see through the eyes of a person that cares. You get a small understand of what people don't see if they suffer from mental health. I love that point.

I also love how you tell the stories of the people and the different things they suffer from. Depression, ptsd etc, it is eye opening in a way because you don't truly realize how msny people truly suffer from mental health. As someone who suffers too i appreciate the fact that you share this.

How love how the character here (you?) Come across as a genuine heart because you do not judge the people you help. The ending i love because you are all in because you know what it is like to suffer too. So i bet many people can relate. You did an excellent job!

Thank you for sharing this.

I liked this a lot, it took my head on a little journey. Thank you

This misfit says if you change 'Thier' to 'Their' I will be able to nominate with a clear conscience.

Great poem btw ;-)
