My poem on supporting my friend who is suicidal
Bridget talks about why we need to have open conversations about our mental health and suicide
Darkness Into Light
The only lights in his life are the ones at the ends of his fags
And he can’t tell his family
Because his Irish mammy will hand him some sudocream
And say “it’s not as bad as it seems,
You’ll be alright before you get married.”
