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
