BIPOLAR vs. ME

BIPOLAR vs. ME

Wherever it leads I must follow,

Constant clouds of thoughts and emotions billow,

Turbulent battles being fought within,

An unrelenting war with no end,

There is nothing steadfast in it’s madness,

One day happiness, one day sadness,

Unremitting journeys of emotions,

Often leading me to confusion and commotion,

How does one declare war upon themselves?

Such as I have upon myself.

I let it consume me involuntarily,

Because of it I am a broken man perpetually,

Pieces of myself scattered,

From a once normal life shattered,

One moment my blood runs warm, the next it runs cold,

This awkward disorder will curse me through my aging old,

I have lost loves because of it,

Found that it contributed to my being an addict,

It withholds me from coming out of my shell,

And has sentenced me to life in my own personal Hell,

I hate you bipolar and the stigma you bring,

Not only to me but to all who are suffering.

These words may never set free my mind,

But listen to me and listen good… I’m winning this war, leaving nothing behind.
