A strong poem. The words are powerful. The rhyme is unusual and catchy. The message is current and important. The flow is good. You managed to write something that is almost a slogan for mental heath providers.
Thanks for sharing. A good read.

Opal, I am so glad you promoted this to the number 1 position for I feel this needs to be seen and read by as many of us as possible; those of us with mental illness and those of us on the other side of mental illness. Your poem was powerful and factual, full of emotion; I personally felt the anger of it all. Perfectly illustrated; great title.
*Because of the stigma, many today suffer in silence, though in different degrees and within the many different facets of the dis-ease. Thank you for this wonderful creation.

This is a great poem Opal Rose. I know many people with mental illness. I saw one who could did nothing except praising God for his love. Wish you the best in your future writing.
Yours Truly,

In so few words, you've made a very powerful statement. Your artwork adds even more meaning to your poetry. My heart goes out to anyone experiencing the stigma of mental health concerns or any of the words scribbled in your artwork. This piece is a definite contender in the contest. Best wishes.

As Humpty Dumpty, in "Alice in Wonderland, stated:
"Suppose he never commits the crime?" Said Alice.. "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean--neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
The scapegoat can look away, and avoid the words. They cannot control the mind, unless the listener lets them.
You can avoid the sinners stones; laughing at their scorn will deflate their egos.

This is a stunner. And you only used six words! You used them brilliantly here--normally, I'd advise someone to use all eight allowed and save this for a frequent six-word contest--but perhaps you were inspired and didn't want to wait! Brilliant.

In one quick read this little work punched me power of a heavy weight. The artwork is an excellent partner to your words. Absolutely nothing to tweak or adjust. Well Written, Well Done.

You show an ability with words to express a concept very clearly, from the alliteration of the title to the verbal imagery, Latin phrase and overall presentation with an entirely appropriate illustration. Mental health matters very much; people should feel psychologically safe.

What a breath taking piece. All the more relatable. I love the flow of the words around the girl almost taunting her. Absolutely beautiful as well as truthful.
