Poem
Hello Friends... I suffer from Severe Bi-Polar Disorder and this submission was inspired by actual events that occured during one of my especially critical manic episodes. Be sure and read Part 2 to complete the poem and leave your comments on the Part 2 submission. Thank you for allowing me to share my pain for pain shared is pain diminished Me, Myself, and I... “There are things that concern us,” Consensed my “Selves” in earnest ““We” fear that “I” have succumbed to delusion” “And after careful deliberation It is with much hesitation That we choose to delineate upon this confusion” “Fact is your intuition Is riddled with superstition And your judgment leaves much to be desired” “So you leave us no recourse Don’t push us to use force” It is then that the “I” was summarily fired I exclaimed “By whose authority?” Response, “Rule of majority” “The “Myself” and the “Me,” (forthwith the “We”), are experts in our field” “And with much technique and time And some forays into the sublime The nature of your malady will be revealed” “So to keep yourself from having a fit Step back and just calm down a bit” “We,” they said, “certainly have this under control” “We swear this won’t hurt at all” Then I felt my inhibitions fall Still I said a prayer to God that He keep my soul You know, fact is I do feel off axis As evidenced by such parapraxis As this prose that I, (or is it “Us”), seek to pen And with my mind feeling numb I finally chose to succumb And allow the “Me” and the “Myself” to begin And then came questions in a flurry Answer, answer and please do hurry Not one moment of respite did they give They pushed and they prodded With every “T” crossed and “I” dotted My mind felt like it had gone through a sieve And all this psycho-analysis Is causing my mind paralysis The questions, can you stop with the questions please “Yes, oh yes indeed I do believe we have what we need To make an attempt to identify your unknown neuroses”
