Contemplation

She sits

Alone

Contemplating how alike
Are she and this man
Whose mind 
  S
     P
 L
      I
    T

his words
her mirror her
   own

Thomas.. this was just a preponderance about a friend who has written about being bipolar. I read his rough draft and thought about how much our minds worked alike when he is rational. We have become great friends despite an ocean between.

weird, but entertaining structure that is original.

This is contemplation after reading a book about a guy who is bipolar. Some of his actions are definitely bizarre, but some, just that of someone who has suffered life. The name of the book is "Split."

Thanks Jan. "Split" is the name of a book that is up on another writing site that I frequent. The protagonist is bipolar. The author and I struck up a friendship of sorts, and I have begun reading his book for final edit. This was spawned by comments left on his chapters.

Thanks Kim, was not really sure about this as I usually do not play with formatting like this, but it seemed to call for it.
