Patricia Leduc Poet I do not know?

Mental Health Upgrade

Mental Health Upgrade

I can’t get up it hurts my back
My knees go out I start to weep
I can’t stay awake
I can’t go to sleep
I’ve done what I can, so now I count sheep

I stay home all day
I’m alone and lost
So this is my life but at what cost?
My circuits are crossed

Mental Health is up for grabs
I am bipolar and it plays tricks
Sometime I fly more times I fall
So this is my life
I don’t want to play any more

I take my meds as I should
Sometimes they work, sometimes no more
Then I spiral, down down down
To dwell in my hell
No one notices. No one to tell

Don’t remember today
But remember the past
My apartment is not a house
Nor is it a home
So I am alone so alone

I’m going shopping at the bipolar store
I need something but it is not there

Lunita Blanca January 16, 2018 at 11:30 AM Very sad Pat. Guess uncertainty is the only certainty in life. Patricia Leduc January 19, 2018 at 8:19 AM Yes it is. Living with bipolar disorder is indeed a challenge. I have learned to face it and embrace it. :)
