Ode to My Brain

Ode to my bipolar brain
Creativity is my favorite thing 
Despite a memory so short
And ADHD of course
Poetry is a sign I’m insane!

Yours is one of the most humorous of the entries. I would never suspect you were bi-polar. that must be difficult. Anyway, I think you did a fantastic job here. Congrats.

Wow! I’m pleasantly surprised by your kind placement! Yes I am bipolar and was only diagnosed as an adult ! With a great support system I persevere!
