Calling in sick to work,
if you do not have a cough
or rough sounding voice,
it is assumed you are playing hooky.
What if your mental reserves are so low
you would be a detriment to work?
What if your emotional capacity is not functioning
and does not allow you to empathize with other beings?
What if your depression…?
What if your anxiety…?
What if a panic attack….?
What if?
What if people could see how debilitating a mental illness truly is
without having to experience it themselves?
