Being human is a struggle..

Depressed people might not be a joy to

be around at times.

But they are not bad people.

And when you get to know them.

You have a great friend for life.

They are human beings who are struggling

 to deal with their own mental health issues

inside their own head and heart.

They get very low, frustrated, annoyed even

shut themselves off from everyone.

And hide away from life.

Sometimes over thinking and dwell on things that upset

them so.

It's easy to ignore them. And carry on with your life.

But one day you yourself might suffer from the lurgy

of depression or the stigma of mental illness problems.

Or even god forbid someone you adore and love.

And you would just ignore them?

How would they feel?

Just because they were having a bad day due to

depression or their mental health problems.

Its like junkies get treated like lepers.

Like it's contagious and talking to them, you will

start being one too. A junkie.

Or an alcoholic. Because they can't cope or deal with

there problems they drink to much alchol.

So folk belittle them and make them into jokes.

And beat them up and soak or pee on them.

Thinking that is funny.

To me, that is evil and twisted.

How sad is that?

Kicking someone while they are down.

Instead of helping them up.

Also a hooker on the street corner in some city centre.

And everyone walks past with their nose in the air and

the blinkers on. Straight ahead they look.

This girl is barely 18 and used for sex and beatings.

From pimp to make him money for drugs and also for herself as

that is the only way she can cope with this

reality of her sad life.

Its easy to say stop doing it. Get help.

Go home to your parents.

What parents? What home?

She grew up in care, kicked out at 18 and on street

with nothing.  This pimp took her in. And she now lives

this life.

The guy did 20 years in the army saw horrors and all evils

you could not imagine. For his country and people.

Came home to his country he is proud of.

They treated him like crap. As he suffers from

P.T.S.D  and other problems due to all he saw in

far of lands.

So he started to drink to cope with his horrors.

And the local lads in the area. Make a fool of him

as he is drunk all the time. And pee on him and

treat his vile.

When this same man. Was a hero in some far of land

fighting wars to make his homeland safe for the next

generation growing up. And the next generation now treat

him disgustingly.

Due to his downfall.

How ironic is life?

Everyone always treats someone in a nice clean suit

well dressed as a lovely human being.

When in reality a lot are nasty scamming

folk more so. That is stealing from the public each

and every day.

So looks are deceiving. And circumstances and getting

to know someone properly speaks volumes.
