Ode to Bipolar

Rage fits and crying
I need help, (which I am not dening).

Sudden relief; manic.
Being overly happy, then sudden panic.

Monsters creeping near.
Stalking, following me. They’re here my dear.

Suddenly screaming!
Hand over mouth, world am I really dreaming?

With medication
I am fit for your evaluation.

Can you deal with me?
With my rage and sadness? It’s not easy.

One moment happy
So content, but the next I feel crappy.

How did I get this?
A shot from at inheratince.

Passed from him to me.
I promise I am not as you see.

I promise to try,
To deal with everything and not die.

I’ve had some rough times,
But I can say I’m stronger than vines.

Sometimes things get rough,
But my determination makes me tough.

Never say never.
Forever we will get through this together.

I am Bipolar
But I know I am stronger than ev’ar.

thank you for the comment. My doc hasn't told me to keep track of mine. My moods are all over. I was just recently diagnosed with it. I think its wonderful to know that there's someone out there that can identify with my poem. Good luck and peace be with you!

Oh, honey, i have Bipolar, too, and its horrible, and I love how you wrote it in a poem. My dr told me to keep track of mania, hypomania, and depression, has yours? My courses run around 3-4 weeks. You're strong.
