Alliteration in the title and the poem, rhyme in the short verse, and a powerful message as well. Very will done and thank you for drawing attention to an overwhelming concern in today's society.

Well done.
Blessings

Yes, I do believe that mental illness is looked down upon and often not taken serious, unless someone is considered certified. I've fortunately never suffered from depression or worse, but I know some of my friends who have. You're saying a lot in so few words. Good luck. Ulla:)))

Well done for highlighting. I agree with you completely. Mental illness is wide, affects many , where they are not even aware.
It is a very difficult subject and awareness is key.
Well done.
My best wishes.

I like the way you have worked rhyme into this extremely short piece a and double syllable rhyme into the bargain. But what am I if I am not my mental illness?

This is a very nice little poem, I enjoyed reading it. The matching of non grata and stigmata is very well done. Thanks for sharing this and have yourself a really great day

Outstanding! Our family is currently dealing with a situation that leaves us floundering... We're left wondering if someone is truly lost in the cob-webbed corridors of their mind or if they consider us all fools believing what she says and does is the truth. Either way until one is certain, we must be careful as to how we approach the situation. One's words, especially false ones, can cut deeper than a knife.

Your contest entry makes a powerful state and used only six words. I am very impressed. Yes, Mental health does matter and people shouldn't judge others. Thank you for sharing and good luck.

Using the image of an indelible mark left on someone from language is a powerful image, challenging the old adage about sticks and stones. How many times have I both used (usually unknowingly) and been the recipient of (usually knowingly) crushing language? It is worth a hard look. Recently someone told me about this great management practice of "catch someone doing something right". Thank you for posting this.
