Bipolar.

Bipolar.

A Poem by bathtime

Everyday is different
And I never know which 'me' will show up
Could I be up and crazy
Or down in the dumps

To me it doesn't matter,
The only thing I crave
Is the days where I can pretend
I'm normal for a while

Some days it's like I've lost all control
Like I'll always want more
Like I'm the best thing that's ever been

But some days are hard
Like existing seems to farfetched
And I could just end it all

But some days I feel like flying
Like I'm on top of the world
And nothing can bring me down

Though other days I feel like crying
And i lay in bed for hours
Ignoring everything around me

So to me its not as easy
As existing day to day
I have a hard time trying
To make everyone believe I'm okay

I really enjoyed this, and that's coming from my heart. I have bipolar and I can relate to this. It can really be a challenge having those ups and downs, that's for sure. And as you said at the end, it's hard making people think that you are alright. A very nice piece of work.

Thanks so much :)
Quite a self-realization here. The last four lines define the person...

A powerful poem. I'm slowing losing my mind. Too many shots from the Army. I do notes and leave photos near. I read non-stop. Some of us must work harder and we do. Life is hard. We must work with the tools we have. I believe struggle lead to success. Your words are strong/worthwhile and thank you for sharing your words and thoughts.
