One.
It only takes One cigarette to harm the lungs of everyone in a room.
One flame to engulf the forest.
One event leads to another.
Change is not permanent,
But always in the air like oxygen
Waiting for the flame.
It only takes One.
One insecure thought can ruin my week, month, or year thanks to depression.
One thought, another, and another...
One mind burning,
Sadness
Shame
Anger
Fear
One life feeling isolated.
Alone.
A mind full of smoke,
Ignoring the forest fire around me.
The others dueling with themselves,
One-on-one against their emotions.
If Mental Health is the oxygen around us maybe we need to set it ablaze.
Fight fire with fire to deprive the stigma of mental health from consuming any more of us.
Maybe you are the One flame?
An individual can raise the alarm.
One person inspiring others to action.
A single fire of passion igniting change.
