I think your words apply to any topic, not just for toleration of mental illness. When a person knows nothing about something it's easy to make judgments. Education is the best cure.

This is an awesome piece. Very powerful and true to all that read. Ignorance of any kind is sad. A person lost in that ignorance are a waste of time to talk to. Thanks for sharing.

Hey I really like this poem. I live with a stigma. I have epilepsy and sometimes I have seizures in public. Wow what a show stopper! I think you did a great job in this poetry contest. Best of luck to you. Have a great weekend, Shirley

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I wasn't expecting this review at all tonight in fact!!! PS- Although panick attacks aren't the same thing by any means, my daughter does get those, and just got one before we even were in the doors at Disney On Ice this past weekend. So, I can kind of relate in a sense. It's awful the way people look at you or your loved ones. It's also because they just don't know, right? So - go get a freaking book already!! Learn up on all sorts of stuff that happens in the world so that you don't just stand around seemingly ignorant, right?! I've been there - I don't care to be there either though - so I LEARN FROM IT!!!!! ;)

This is a well written acrostic, mystery poet: "Stop the Stigma." The message you convey is quite impactful. It's interesting to deal with people who have strong opinions about things they know nothing about.

Your rhyming is perfect, and your words are not forced at all.

One suggestion: I'm not sure why, but I found your poem very hard to read. I might suggest changing the background color or the font -- don't know which. I think I tried that font before, and it was difficult to read. Just a thought :)

Best of luck in the contest! Alana

Hi,

This is really good, but the font you chose runs together and isn't easy to read---you might want to take a look at it.

Good luck in the contest.

Cheers & Blessings

    Thank Jax!! Much appreciated!! PS- Any suggestion on the font type?

    Try Arial Black---it is bold but has better definition.

    Also, just Arial and BOLD if too, can work. Worth a shot. Cheers....
