Tech Has It’s Place

I cannot speak about what I don’t know

But it’s always great to educate ones soul

They say those from BAME communities are more likely to receive the blow

Suffering from trauma of some kind or just not having the natural ability to cope

People with a darker skin tone are more likely to be diagnosed

Statistics say that WE are more likely to head down social exclusion that WE are more prone to Experience a poor outcome from the treatment

And that it’s most likely that WE will show signs of deterioration within our mental state

You see I can only speak from experience

And my mental breakdown had a lot to do with living life on the road

Seeing people being shot and killed

Being of an ethnic minority

Seeing how the police abused their authority

My depression stemmed from me wanting to get out

But we must fast forward to the way society has scalped itself

Technology has made it difficult for us to sense when somebody needs help

The sufferer suffers in silence behind a computer screen

Hiding their pain by using emoji’s

Technology has made it hard to get that extra support

But on the other hand it helped me save myself

Using creative art to spread the message of self love

Being able to create visuals and allow my followers to understand my struggle within itself

First it was writing poetry then technology helped my craft get out

Look

People who suffer from mental health need an outlet

A place where they feel safe to express

Due to cultural barriers mental health allegations seem to get dismissed

Sometimes the family don’t believe in such illness

Education and knowledge is the only way to progress

Technology can be definitely used just as long as we do not digress

And understand that creative art can act has a healer

Like I said

I cannot speak about what I don’t know

But it’s always great to educate ones soul

My experiences allowed me grow

Because as a mental health suffer I used poetry and technology to wake up from the cold
