Andy DW Poet Rhyme

Bipolar and you pt3

We are in a crisis
The thoughts and visions inside us
Coming out to play
And making you pray
For all this to go away

I see your desperation 
And this broken situation
I see your efforts to battle the demons
I also watch how this strengthens

Your mind running rampant
Your actions show detachment 
Not knowing who you are anymore
Nothing is the way it was before

This is not your fault why this happened
No one could of seen or imagined
That malabsorption caused the decline
And your mind to resign 

I see the terror when you see the shadow
Your heart beats rapid and your eyes narrow
Palms get clammy 
Your eyes go glassy

Dropping into an episode fast
The stress caught up with you at last
A blackout moment to reset your mind
Temporary reprieve from the role assigned

I see your confusion about what you hear
But trust me those voices and people are not near
You are in a place of safety 
Where you can express yourself safely

You feel judgement looming
Intensifying thoughts becoming consuming
I wish I could take the pain away
So you can be living your life today

I hear your fears, I hear you wanting to end the pain
It would indeed rest your brain
But cause the ones who love you most
To also become ghosts

Your life is precious to us
Your pain has to be open to discuss
We want to be able to save you
From this life of pain in view 

Let’s hope the new little pill
Will make her head go still
Calm the voices and noise
And give her back laughs and joys

The shadows are the enemy
Brutality stealing away your identity 
They are haunting your mind in the present
Isolating you and becoming unpleasant 

I hope this new medication 
Will banish the derealisation 
And bring you back whole and unharmed
The only scar is to being alarmed

You and bipolar can live in harmony 
Working together on this evolving journey
He isn’t your foe but your friend
A life together you both attend 



P.S.
I’m proud of you for hanging on.
