The Bi-Polar curse

by master of shadow   May 21, 2006


Between happy and sad
There's a very fine line
Which you have to be upon
In order to feel fine.

If you drop down below
Pain is all you'll feel
Suffer in darkness
Not knowing what's real,

But if you rise too high
Things barely improve
As from suicidal darkness
To manic confusion you move.

Like a yo-yo you cross the line
Up and down without prediction
Almost like instability
Becomes you're addiction.

Never knowing what's to come
Where on the scale you shall lie
Or when it will overpower you
When you shall come to die.

Like a yo-yo through highs and lows
Fearing the worse
And crossing the line,
Welcome to the bi-polar curse.

i admit i have greatly simplified this... but this is mainly for the ease of understanding for others, and that i found aspects very difficult to explain.

    I really loved this poem, mostly because i'm bipolar. I found out about two years ago. It runs in my family. I loved how you wrote the poem so that it was easy for other people to understand what you are talking about. I know from personal experience that it is really hard to explain to someone exactly what bipolar is. Great job with the poem!
