This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Western chapter.

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week at HC Western Ontario. Join the conversation with #HCWesternTalks.

We often fail to realize that for every one person who struggles with their mental health, there are multiple people around them who suffer with them out of empathy and out of love. This is not a struggle to be had alone, we fight for ourselves and we fight for those around us. No single person is a monster and no single person can be a hero. 

In this poem I would like to lend you my words. I hope that when you find either yourself or someone you love in this poem my words comfort you. I hope I have been able to say the things you couldn’t. Let my words wrap you in a hug that makes you feel less alone and please know that I love you.
