amidst the darkness of the quiet night
you search the abyss for some sort of light
yeilding to the pain enveloping itself in your heart
there is a hole in your skin where you got hit with a dart
voices drum in your head singing kareoke and debating
fluids swimming and inside of you they are sedating
swinging from tree to tree your moods keep changing
there is nothing that you can do while they are rearranging
your emotions cornered you and kept you captive
and nothing in you seems to be really adaptive
hyperness went into your soul and entered as a ghost
depression took over your brain and was the host
your emotions and moods are having a party that you weren't invited to
you are lost in the wilderness of the woods where they last left you
you howl in pain hurting and waiting to tell those voices to shut their fucking mouths
your brain screams out to you it is put on repeat whispering to you it just wants out
face to face staring eye to eye with bipolar disorder
waiting for someone to call this meeting to order
the words you wanted to say dried up like grapes dry to raisins now
you want to defeat this enemy that has stolden everything you are but don't know how
so you say bipolar disorder or manic depression whatever the hell is your name
I am fucking messed up and and hurting all the time and you are to blame
I've been waiting so long to say these words to the one who is responsible for all this
all I have to say is fuck you, fuck the mood swings , fuck the voices, fuck all of this shit
you will never know what it is like to wake up every morning and have to face every day
never knowing what I'll be like, what I will do, what I will want, what I will say
it's like the ups and downs, turns and curves every time I look around, like a rollercoaster
this monster inside, the tears I have cried, pain I can't hide, what it's like to be bipolar
I suffer from bipolar disorder. I love this poem. Its very well written. I think though that bipolar disorder is viewed in many different ways. To me, it is a blessing. It helps me understand where all people come from. I've gone through pain, i've suffered, i've been happy and in love. The cycling of emotions helps me understand all points of view. and it helps me write. I never used to view it this way but i thank God everyday that i'm bipolar because it helps me experiance life in a whole new light.
