We invited a 100-strong chorus of artists, writers, musicians, broadcasters, sports stars and more to contribute to Now We’re Talking, a mental health campaign, run in partnership with Lyons Tea and Pieta House. Singer-songwriter Allison McGrath shares lyrics which she felt related poignantly to this issue.
Mental health: Let’s Break the Stigma
Just because I smile doesn’t mean I’m happy
Just because I say I’m okay doesn’t mean I am
Just because I’m silent doesn’t mean there’s a storm raging inside of me
Just because I say I want to be alone doesn’t mean I do...
Be still, be quiet and perhaps you may see the hidden turmoil.
Never assume to know what’s going on in someone’s head
Try and read between the lines and listen
