    I'm really sorry that you struggle from this disorder, but you are among many that have it. I don't have it so I can't relate to your poem, but I know some can. Anyways, I thought the poem was really good. You made it really sad, coming from someone with the disorder. The flow was pretty decent, it flowed real nice. The dialouge of what the doctors say and everything was a nice touch to the poem. Umm, I don't think there's anything you should change here. 5/5

    The poem is alright, nothing special, nothing remarkable, damn good compared to most of the poems I've read on this site. It's okay with telling emotions that come from within that nobody could understand, and to tell it honestly even from your own point of view which you do good with. You take it as listening to a person telling somebody else how you'll never be the same. BUt if you could, I would write the same poem describing more of your reaction to it, with imagery enough and holding details to make it jump out to the reader so they could feel it as well. P.S I know what it's like to never be the same, though I don't have Bi-polar, I've made myself an outcase, you learn to be strong through it all and not look at the past.

    Interesting poem. I liked the concept for the most part. The rhymes fit in well, but especially in the fourth stanza. Your choice of words was nice in that one. The only spelling error in the poem was the word "fourth," it should be "forth" in the way that you used it. Very minor error though, not a bid deal. Good poem. Keep up the nice work!

    This poem shows alot of what you went through , and makes it understandable for someone who would normally have no idea. I like the rimes , but sometimes the flow isn't so great , but otherwise it's awesome . 4/5

    She'll have the highest highs,
    But also the lowest lows.
    `
    That part really struck me as interesting.

    A stagger amount of Americans go undiagnosed, you are really fortunate. Bipolar disorder at an early age is normally very hard to detect.

    Overall impression after reading: Very, very good.

    "Just some words I can't comprehend
    "She'll never be the same."
    What did I do to deserve this punishment?
    A fate I'll live with everyday

    "She'll have the highest highs,
    But also the lowest lows.
    Living with this isn't easy
    But it's better if you know."

    ^ As far as I understood, the second and forth line was to rhyme. The first one's don't, the second verse, almost. I got a little confused by this, asking myself: is this supposed to rhyme or what? It sort of ruins the enjoyment of reading.

    Looking back and fourth
    Words being said, words I don't know
    Mother's worried, doctor's staring
    Why do they look at me so?

    ^ I love this stanza. I mean I LOVE it. One thing though, is it supposed to say fourth? Isn't it forth? I could be wrong though.

    The doctor sticks his head out the door
    Looking at me, shaking his head
    "Good luck Courtney, It'll soon get better."
    And I'm thinking, yeah when I'm dead.

    ^ I gotta love the ending. It was suitable, brilliant and so close to perfection, I bow down in the dust.

    Heartfelt, raw and honest - a great poem.

    From what I've read of yours, you write with complete honesty. Even if there are imperfections, your poems are beautiful to me. They're sad, but not pitiful. They're depressing, but not annoyingly so. You have talent.
