Title: I Am Bipolar

Poem: I am bipolar, this I know
Because everyone tells me so.
I've been called crazy since high school,
Although I don't feel like a fool.

I'm up one minute and then depressed.
I feel fine then I'm in distress,
I write poetry to express myself,
But feel my reality stays on the shelf.

I've been in and out of hospitals for years.
I try to cry but have no tears.
I'm in a real living hell,
And don't believe I'll ever get well.

So when you read these words I write,
Know that I may be up all night,
Thinking of nothing but the pain.
Wondering why I care to remain....
