Bipolar Me

Everyone suffers disorder when they meets wrong people

I don't want to be me

But I have to be

I love being me

Because it is there

When I need it to be

I heard people are born two

I believe them because I am two

One Inside

One Outside

One no one can share

The best of my fears

In this world of nightmares

Is where I tell of my borrowed life

Which the two in me do strife for

Oh! Now come thus! Let me tell you what I am

I do believe you have no eyes

And please don't be hard on me to say I am

A fiddle with great lies, you see,

Only you can know these two

Because you are sick like me too

Author's Note

Bipolar disorder, previously known as manic depression, is a mental disorder that causes periods of depression and periods of elevated mood. The elevated mood is significant and is known as mania or hypomania, depending on its severity, or whether symptoms of psychosis are present. During mania, an individual behaves or feels abnormally energetic, happy, or irritable. Individuals often make poorly thought out decisions with little regard to the consequences. - Google

Remember when you told me you don't want to be involved with drama or deal with me in any way? So what's up with leaving the follow comment on my work about 15 minutes ago? "@Debbie, please read his name. You are talking with a living corpse without home training and respect. Ignore him. he doesn't know anything... leave him to keep blabbing."

If you say you are going to do something, stick to it. You decide the level of interaction we have. Stay away from my poems and comments with your bullshit and you won't have to hear a single word from me.

AWESOME! I am also bipolar, so I've read tons of books & poetry on this topic. Yours is definitely the most original & unique message about bipolar that I've read EVER. I totally understand the way we grow to love ourselves in a teeter-totter way, it's always a balance we need to work on, & hoping others will find it worthwhile to do the same. Everyone is some place on the "bipolar continuum" . . . but some of us are more dramatically bipolar than others (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Yes, Margie. I sometimes fall into the state. It comes naturally and many people who suffer this don't accept they are bipolar. they believe is undignified disease.. please which disease is dignified? Thank you for the encouraging review... God bless.
