Leslie Scardigno Poet Lyric

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

Tasha Taylor April 23, 2015 at 11:14 PM 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 Leslie Scardigno April 25, 2015 at 7:39 AM 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
