@bipolarbunny 

I think you should keep writing your poems - they are very good! You have a talent with words.

@MDT That's great my friend, I do the same with some of my poetry, advice to my future self, where not to get stuck, where to move on, it is as you say very helpful. 

@BlueBay @Oaktree Thank you both so much, there's no chance I will quit writing, my psychologist wouldn't let me for starters lol, he gives me poetry assignments almost every session. His favourite quote is, "Oh there's gotta be a poem in that!" 

Hope you all have a good night xx

i must say @bipolarbunny

"The rhyme writes itself with an ominous start."

This is quote worthy. I feel like it sums up how we are brought into this world and this life. If this life were a rhyme, it had an ominous start. It's not like life is easy, particularly when we are born - we are so reliant on parents to raise us. And not to only raise us, but to raise us well. Then of course life is directed by fate in so many ways. So the rhyme does indeed write itself and it has an ominous start.

Sorry i keep banging on here lol @bipolarbunny

It reminded me of something I once wrote - "Beneath the azure of a colourless sky"

It's a contradiction because azure is a bright blue, but of course colourless can not be bright. The only thing that is bright in this situation here is the colourlessness of the sky. It's like saying "the sky was brightly dull". So dull, that it's bright, so dull that it's noticeable.

Weird old thing isn't it? lol

Keep writing 👍

@MDT I love your interpretation of that line! I honestly never thought of it that literal, but you're so right, it definitely reflects our birth and subsequent destiny. It's funny sometimes I will write something with a certain reflection but then I'll go back months later and re read the same thing I've written and find a completely different interpretation. 

I love your line too! "Beneath the azure of a colourless sky" Just beautiful!! It reminds me of the paradoxical nature of bipolar in some ways. The distinct difference in a scene as viewed from both a manic and a depressed mindset. I've written a few verses where I quote fire burning as cold as ice or the sun being too loud. I would love to read some of your writings! Feel free to submit anything you like on here, I know others would love to read it too. xx

Hi @bipolarbunny creativity has been a gift for me as well, a huge blessing, a lifeline. I used to say it was my longest and most meaningful relationship. Especially like that poem.

Hi @MDT love the idea of letters to your future self.

"I used to say it was my longest and most meaningful relationship."

i have so much mixed thoughts in my head

as i lay here in my bed

i don't know what to think anymore

as i look at my drawer

my head is so confused today

i just want to go to the bay

and sit and listen to the sea

i just want to be me

i am struggling with things from the past

i wish they would go out with a blast

but each time i try to let go

it comes back very slow

please just go away

i want to be down today

i don't know why i feel this way

i guess it's just another day

i sometimes feel like escaping my body

and feel like a somebody

when you keep creeping back in

i want to throw you in the bin

you hurt me so much that's all i can say

and maybe just one day it will be my way

i am not so strong like everyone says

because right now i feel like a mess

its hard to be strong

when inside you're just pulling along

the strings that get torn

when i was just born

the depression the anxiety the BPD too

are all part of me which i wish wasn't true

i hate it somedays when all i think of is me

and why did this journey have to be .........
