~Bipolar~

By heinzs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

~Bipolar~ Walking in the shadows I feel the oppression, the weight of grief that pervades my life. Uncertainty and fear cloud rational thought, making decisions harder to identify and actuate. Walking in the light I feel elation, freedom of spirit and beckoning joy. Semi-euphoric, all seems at last possible and I leap forward with boundless energy. So I swing, from dark to light - never to enjoy that middle ground. Doomed to be manic or depressed, affecting my life and those near me. Yet somehow I manage to function and maintain a semblance of normalcy. Medication but masks my mood, creating a passable attitude. 3/20/2002 Written March 20th, 2002   Member of Footsteps and Freeversers © on Mar 20 2002 08:04 AM PST, Heinz Scheuenstuhl    0 • 10
