Artistically Diseased
Yes I am bipolar,
though to me it’s not a curse.
My life could have been different,
it could have been much worse.
I don’t perceive my disease,
as a curse, rather, it's a gift.
For it illuminates my senses,
and that artistic desired lift.
Many are forced to succumb,
believing they cannot succeed.
My outlook is just the opposite,
all expectations I will exceed.
So when you think it’s over,
and your mind has taken a toll.
Remember that “gift” inside of you,
is one you completely control!
