Mental health is not the only subject which is focused on; other important themes are touched upon. However many of these poems were written with the sole aim of dispelling the stigma which still surrounds mental health, they are a way of reaching out. It’s difficult for people to understand the pain that mental health causes, and it’s often hard for the sufferer to get across their true feelings. In poetry I found a way of sharing the complexity and the ups and downs of this illness.
