The Diamond Inside

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!

Congratulations on POTD, Rose! My nephew was one…he struggled, made headway, always threatening…then came the pandemic and he took his life. Yes, always remember the brave warriors. Rest in peace, my sweet nephew…

I appreciate your well-penned words that express sensitivity and compassion about those souls who deal with bipolar disorder. You captured the 'torment' these folks must feel. You helped me understand better and stop and think. Congrats on POTD Sara Etgen-Baker
