You cannot cure mental illness by releasing the devil out of me,

because the devil is not in me.

My brain is not cracked, scrambled, fried or devilled.

Those are words used to describe an egg,

not a person.

Stop the stigma.

Published by my loud whispers of hope

I share my story openly and honestly to educate others and increase the awareness of mental illness, reduce stigma, prevent suicide, to inspire, give hope and let God's love shine through me and touch you. I finished writing, proofreading and editing my memoir in January of 2019. I am in the process of sending my manuscript to agents and publishers that accept unsolicited maunscripts. I pray my words will turn into a book that will inspire and spark joy and hope in the lives of many. Recovery and healing are possible. I am living proof. "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." ~Maya Angelou

    1. Thank you. I am happy you liked my short and simple silly little poem. Sometimes the shorter ones are better, I guess. The word of the day was egg… and this is what came to my mind. I am happy you liked it. I am doing well. Thank you for asking. It is a good day and I always appreciate when my days are good and try not to ever take the goodness of any day for granted, especially with this illness. I hope you are doing well too. Have a happy and healthy and fabulous day. Hugs, Sue
