Poem: This world looks so black and so bleak.
It feels like there is no life in this world. You sit there looking at me when I''m at my darkest, you just sit there quietly. No one else sees you there, only me, only I can see you. Only I talk to you. You are my secret, you''re the only friend I can trust. You listen, you don''t judge, you always know what to say the right way.

This world makes me feel so lonely. I don''t have any friends that I can talk to. I can''t trust anyone because they say they won''t tell anyone but they ALWAYS DO... I find it so hard to talk about how I feel. Meetings with my psych nurse are pointless as all we talk about is the weather. I always change the subject to something completely unrelated to bipolar.

The mask of normality that I have mastered for people to see is starting to show its cracks. I must perfect it again to seal the cracks so no one can see how much I am torturing myself inside. I have to seem more normal otherwise people start asking questions... Which is not good as I then push everyone away and I''m back to square one. But through all this you''re still there, you''re the only one I can trust your the only one who''s been there all through this with me...
