Bipolar Trophy

There was no denying
I thought I was flying
Sadness was dying 
Excitement was building up.
I had reached a peak
There was no more to seek
As the winner of life's world cup.

The runway was clear
In crept the fear
A ripple in the water
A grumble underground
The title was slipping away
I looked around
Noone was found 
The wind blew 
all went askew
I was back up on trial
It was too hard to smile

Block by block the grief rebuilt
Covered by a thick dark quilt
Upside down peaks 
lead to millions of leaks 
The tears poured down 
From the glorious crown.

A nice poem on the cycles we go through. If interested, read mine titled Bye Polar and others on the same theme. Good write Tony
