Bipolar Disorder

An illness of the mind

By Susan F WeimerPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Sitting in a dark room yearning

Thoughts, constantly franticly churning

Rushing through my mind blurring

Any rational logic occurring

Paranoia seeded, growing

People cross my path unknowing

Am I up or am I down

Will I show a smile or frown

Others say I am too tiring

People always needing requiring

Normal, normal, just be normal

No, I cannot, I'm abnormal

Chemical imbalance warning

So my friendship you'll be scorning

Just have patience I keep crying

Such frustration underlying

It's not my fault I keep sighing

You can change they keep implying

If only it was that simple friend

My path is hard to comprehend

In my mind, I have no control

Ideas you have none of the tolls

This illness makes upon my life

Do you think I want such strife

Some days I am so tired

Of how nature my brain has wired

Through and through declared exhaustion

All things felt in disproportion

I simply cannot reorder

This bipolar disorder

sad poetry
