Analysis of Hush not right now



Hush not right now!

So about my Mental illness, shhhh! Shush!

We can't talk about this right now it's depressing,
People don't want to talk about that at a social gathering,
Really Addiction not really a topic to bring to the table
Now you want to discuss issues with the system,
It's not exactly a subject that's integrable with the current topic it's just not narrable.

I'm Told it's not appropriate to bring up, the comment leaves me nonplussed
Apparently, It brings down the mood, it's a depressing topic to discuss,
People feel like they must readjust what they were discussing,

So I'm shushed!

Please Keep those negative issues, that you haven't got enough tissues to deal with hushed and talk about other news. Just keep it shushed!  

You're not too talk about it, you're supposed to be out having fun,
You don't want to focus on all that negativity, and ruin it for everyone,

Oh you mean the depression that's so tangible it feels like it ways a ton,
Yeah why would I want to talk about that at all to anyone.
It's only building up so much I feel like I'm going to have a nervous breakdown,
Bug don't worry I'll keep my feelings under wraps and turn my frown upside down.

Hush stop it now!

I've told you everyone really cares, and are really supportive and worried about ya,
You don't need to bring it up to them now it's not often that we are all together,
Don't ruin it, don't depress everyone, let's talk about the positives and not the problem,
Ok yeah fine you carry on, I'll exchange pleasantries then sit here screaming inside because it's festering, and I feel rotten.Hush not now!

We'll talk about this some other time, not while guests are here,
They don't want to discuss depressing things it's not like it's severe,
They have their own problems to deal with like work and there own families,
Did you know that so and so, is struggling to, it's not all about you and your agonies.

Now Hush please about these depressing something's or nothings
But they're not just depressing things, they're terrible thoughts and feelings
It's not coping, it's anxiety building it's depression it's my mental illness
And I feel like I'm going to explode keeping it all in,
And not being able to talk about it, openly or freely isn't helping.

Finally - You stopped hushing and started listening

You're right on time Thank you for listening,
because I'm really struggling and not coping,
I could really do with someone to talk to,
Being able to openly talk about it helps me to,
validate that my feelings are being heard, essentially,
Allowing me to communicate confidential,
when things are really rough or feel full blown,
Talking helps me to not feel so isolated and alone,
And my problems also then become well known.

Let's not make discussing mental health issues a Hushed topic anymore
Not listening could result in the loss of a life like below.

Finally - you hushed for far too long

Ok let's have a chat about how your feeling now,
nope?
You took to long, you're too late, I decided I couldn't cope,
With the pain all bottled up inside lingering and festering,
It became all consuming,
You'll no longer need to Hush or shush me again,
You'll be happy to hear,
I found a way to deal with it all, no longer will my depressing thoughts bend your ear,
Nor will any thought for that matter,
As my voice has now been silenced forever,
If only you had listened and had that chitter chatter!

Don't let suicide be an option, talking is proven to be beneficial form of therapy when dealing with mental illness and depression,
Let's not shush mental illness anymore that chitter chatter could stop a suicide, it's time for mental healths progression! Not regression!
