Stained with stigmata
Persona non grata
Six words .you have packed a world of meaning .It is high time we stopped the stigma associated with mental problems.

As one that suffers from depression and anxiety, among other things, I feel what you mean in your poem. It is definitely a huge message for such a short piece of work. Good job. The artwork is absolutely perfect, as well.

Yes indeed, it's more than time that mental illness is treated as an illness without the stigma. Your rhymed couplet packs a punch even without the illustration.
Best of luck in the contest
Stay safe

I love your two lines. As an individual who has worked in the mental health field and has much mental health issues in her family, it is so important for mental health to be seen differently. Excellent poem that is relevant to today and has an important meaning.

Very powerful words. Those few words speak such volume. "Mental health matters." The message is loud and clear and the artwork you selected really draws the reader in, I can feel the words and I can see the pain these words cause. Very powerful work

Hello Opal Rose,
True words.
Mental health DOES matter as equally as physical health. And yes, there is still a stigma attached to those who seek mental health services. How incredibly sad... especially in this day and age...
Thank you for sharing!

This is a great entry for this contest of only eight words. When you have only a few words to work with you must choose your words wisely, which I see you did. Very true and right to the point. Good luck with the contest.

That's so true. It's shameful the way people who struggle with mental illness are treated. Not only do they struggle with their disease, but also with stigma and rejection. It makes me so sad to think about it. Good luck in the contest.

This is a very well written short poem you have penned for the contest. You used great descriptive words and very good imagery from the art work you chose. You said so much in so few words. Best wishes in the contest. Blessings, Teri
