The message reads...
S Bowden 1984 (Kent)
The message reads
“Stay in touch with your loved ones”
“Mental illness is rising”
“Don’t suffer alone once”
Then people add statuses
“Don’t forget those you care for too”
But why do you say this?
When I never hear from you.
The message also reads
“This charity needs you,”
“To help answer all the calls”
“From the sad and lonely too”
Their message says
“Keep in touch with those struggling”
Even those who hide away,
They need to feel that they belong.
So, if you add a status,
or tell the world you care
Please do it, ring your family
And show them that you’re there.
Don’t say these things or write them
If you’re not concerned at all,
Because all your loved ones seeing that
Will feel less than nothing at all.
They’ll notice you’ve not contacted them,
They’ll feel so hurt and sad,
That you’ve told the world you’re there for them
But ignored the ones you had.
The message reads- “Be kind to all”
Please hear this loud and clear
This message is for ALL of us
Be with loved ones when you shed that tear.
