Analysis of Wealth Of Mental Health Issues
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
It is and can be arguably,
A wealth of mental health issues.
Bringing many today to their knees.
Pleading for immediate need,
To be helped.
It seems,
Money to have and success to achieve.
Has for them to find,
Things to acquire...
Can not buy them happiness.
Or stays to remain to satisfy their minds.
Could they be...
Suffering from inflicted self pretensions.
Masquerading for acceptance to reflect,
The best as it gets.
Could they be...
Stressed out from charading.
To discover what they imitate,
Others could care less.
Yet...
Where can they go,
With their upturned noses high.
When what they feel inside,
Begins taking that nosedive?
No money had can disguise a mind defected.
From pretensions kept.
No money had can buy anyone happiness.
Many these days,
Suffer from mental addictions.
With their public confessions to be stressed.
Although their goals had been...
Chasing acceptance.
Chasing that money.
Chasing approval.
And to them what means success.
Many these days,
Have found to find...
Money can't buy them,
A peace of mind.
And...
Many these days,
Suffer from addicting fiction.
Self inflicted.
To pretend what today is fading away.
Many these days,
Have a wealth of mental issues.
Many these days,
Have begun to admit they need help.
And many these have always needed it.
Since many these days are the cause.
With money they have to pay the cost!
