Poem I wrote about how my bipolar disorder makes me feel
A feeling I can't hide
Another low how many more to go
Here comes the high just trying to get by
Up and down a roller coaster round and round
Good mood or bad there's so many to be had
My mind is racing dancing in the wind
My emotions break as they begin to bend
Everyday I live out the same
My demons play a deadly game
My body tells me I'm ok
But my feelings are so far away
I struggle in vain was it worth all the pain
I know longer want to be insane

Hi @Notnormal80,
Welcome to the forums 🙂
Thank you for sharing your poem, it is a beautifully descriptive piece.
Do you write much? have you had a look around the forums and seen any of the other members poems?
ie @BlueBay @MoonGal @Silenus and many more members post in these Poems or Writing as a form of therapy or A poem? maybe?

Hey @Notnormal80 - Welcome to the forums, your poem really nails it, it is just like that. Poetry is a good way to describe lived experience. There are a few of who are poets here...
I wrote a poem as my debut post here last year about what it is like living with bi polar too.
A Poem: On living with bi-polar affective disorder
How long have you had a diagnoses for?
