Bipolar

Minds racing Always pacing In a panic Going manic Looking to fight I’m in your sight Impulse buying Aggressive driving Can’t sit still Making me ill Up and down, round and round On this perpetual carnival ride Up and down, high and low Just like the ocean tide Sleeping the day away Doing nothing for yourself complaining and belly-aching Just wishing you could melt Crying at about everything You can’t even get out of bed With all those hurtful thoughts Swimming in your head Up and down, round and round On this perpetual carnival ride Up and down, high and low Just like the ocean tide Mind breaking Risk taking Hair tearing Not caring Driving fast Can’t be last Out on the town Can’t slow down No sleeping Soon weeping Up and down, round and round On this perpetual carnival ride Up and down, high and low Just like the ocean tide

Thank you. Very misunderstood. I was married for 20 yrs to a sufferer.

Mental disorders are so interesting! They are terrible things but to be able to put something that others deal with in their minds into words, it just feels amazing! I love this poem! Welcome to Poetry Soup! I can't wait to read more of your work!!! :) <3 Tash

I was actually worried about putting this up. I didn't want to offend anyone with the disorder. I don't have it, but this is my pov about living with my late husband who did suffer, and ultimately, lost the battle to it. Thanks for kind words
