Back in October 2021 I was invited to their weekly men only support hub here in Coleraine. A small group of men who meet every Monday to chat, socialise and receive support for mental health issues. Over the course of the following few weeks I got my head down and I wrote and wrote and wrote. About 3 versions all together. And what you’re about to hear is the final piece. I sincerely hope that the poem has helped those men who I sat with in some way lighten the load of what ever their mental struggles are. I hope that it shows the power in speaking up! I can honestly, hand on heart say that I left that meeting that evening, inspired! Inspired by their strength of character, by their willingness to help others even when they themselves feel helpless.

What if there's more to what you see, read or hear?

Darkness is a Spoken Word piece that touches on mental health awareness and suicide and aims to ask deep philosophical questions  about our understanding of how we perceive each.
