Mental health can be a slippery slope at times, or maybe it’s more like a roller coaster with all it’s ups and downs.  ‘lost’ is a poem that tells of the feelings of inadequacy that can raise up it’s head even when you think you’re doing well.   Bu luckily and inevitably, I think, life shows us better times too.
