My fellow brothers of the ink
We inspire and we thoughtfully think
Our writings are inspirations to others
Let’s not become victims of “bother”
We write to inspire
let Not our ink expire
Don’t give in to depression.
Because it’s a cancer that slowly kills
It gives way to anger
With negative thoughts running through your mind.
It Leads to oppression of the mind and soul
It leads to mental imbalance
It leads to self hate, and ultimately leads to suicide
My fellow brothers of the ink
The waters of depression we do not drink
Don’t give in to this skink
Depression can’t make us sink
Don’t let it push us to the brink
Let’s have a rethink.
Our mind is our greatest asset, without it the world is amiss
Pick up your pen and let’s fight against this cancer,
To it’s call do not answer
We have much more to offer.
Get off that lorry of thoughts
Unburden yourself and set yourself free.
We poets have the greatest mind
We can never lose it to depression
Whatever you might be facing you’ll surely overcome because you have the greatest weapon in the world.
YOUR MIND
