Opportunity
Once I was a young girl with dreams
Pleasure of mine sometimes went to extremes.
Priorities grew to where they needed to be.
Others around me knew I wanted to succeed.
Reality kicked in as I got older
Then I was diagnosed with bipolar
Under my sadness and all my stubbornness.
New, to the quick suddenness
Into the military is where I joined
Then new experiences conjoined
Yet eleven years later, discharged medically, i wish I still served.
