…Mental Health…
Who you or me/
Yea they come in waves/
They come in stress or tears/
They come when I try/
My fears, my doubt, my past, I hide/

You get left behind/
Who you or me/
It’s us because I am not the only one/
Breaking cuffs, when it gets rough/ or
Making hot meals so my soul can heal/
Baby reflect don’t neglect/
Because OUR mental health is REAL/
