Come what may the sun will continue to shine 
whether I weather my crazy bipolar moods or not 
Every rainbow has its rain every day its hour 
every vision of me, never quite the same; 

Inside this mind there lives a thought that I cannot restrain 
emotion floods my soul like a diamond dusted steel blade 
moving me forward, like the other hand of time
no I'm never really fine

From euphoria to manic mode I dance and then I cry 
a one moment life passes me by, the next I want to die  
Banishing hope from me, tackling me to the ground 
one minute I'm crying and the other, I'm fine 

Come what may the sun will continue to shine 
time after time, after time. 


PS: this poem is dedicated to all the brave warriors 
who struggle with depression and bipolar disease.

This is a Totality & Complete work. From message, to chisen words, imparting usually the unspoken brutal truths. I wish all med professionals would read this as bipolar goes on now not understood or treated as well as could be. This poem…Amen!
