THE FOLLOWING POEM WAS SELECTED IN WINGWORD POETRY PRIZE 2023 LONGLIST.

Those who always smile and never weep,

You never know, maybe they are suffering

FROM PAIN TOO DEEP.

Those who are a star,

You never know, maybe their heart has

LOTS OF SCARS.

Those who say, " I am okay",

You never know how many problems inside them are singing

KARAOKE.

Mental health at first may seem small,

but you never know when it'll become big and,

FORCE YOU TO FALL.

But you must never feel lost,

If you do then you'll have to pay a huge cost,

But don't worry, problems will come to you by all means,

JUST FIND A LOVED ONE AND SPILL THE BEANS.
