Manic depression

Manic Depression A Poem by debileah

M anic thoughts race through my bipolar mind

A s I find myself struggling in every direction

N eurotic at times or so it may seem

I rrational behavior, so much for my dreams

C oping skills on a roller coaster ride of ups and downs

 

D epression hits me as I come crashing, hitting my lowest of lows

E levated moodswing here comes my ultimate of highs

P oetic words flow as I write in my manic frenzy

R eaching peaks of happiness, and dreading the realms of sadness

E ach manic episode is surely to end in depression or death

S o they feed me antidepressants and mood stablizers to level me out

S eclusion, seems I tend to seclude when my moodswings intrude

I llusions of grandeur at times I endure

O ften I wonder will they ever find a cure

N ot during my lifetime I am sure
