Thoughts on a rough night


This set of three poems came from a rough night when I struggled with the dark side of the bipolar. I wrote the first one to show where my thoughts were. After fighting through it for a few hours, I felt the shift in my head, and wrote the second part. Just before I fell asleep, I added part three. 


LOSING IT (#1) 

Pain pounding inside my head
Tears burning my eyes
Thoughts of anger
Wanting it all to end

Rocking to a beat
Not heard by others
Silence all around
Needing it all to fit

Looking but not seeing
Calling his name
Please come hold me
Wanting a new beginning
  

 
A BETTER TOMORROW (#2)

Tomorrow let it be sunshine
A brighter day for me
Lead me back to the path
Understanding and strength at the end


A test of my patience
Pushing me to the wall
Shove the clouds to the side
Let wisdom and joy prevail once more



THE RIGHT CHOICE (#3) 

Determined to win
Reaching for the strength
Tired of the fight
Time to let it all go
The anger pushed out the window
