#bi-polar poems on Hello Poetry

Israel Rivera Dec 2016

My mood is a helter-skelter
An endless series of ups and downs
There is no shelter
From this litany of smiles and frowns
There is no middle
What is today?
Just an endless riddle
Sunny or Gray? Cloudy or Gay?
One thing I know for sure
I will just have to let it be
For me there is no cure
It’ll never set me free

Struggle

this battle has been won and I
appear to be just fine
but that's because you wouldn't care
to read between the lines

VIII

*20:55

People always notice my glow, but in that light there is darkness

Manic Depression

I drew the shades
And shut myself
off from the world

Let me lay in the darkness
Of this abyss
I'd rather suffer here
Than out there
With the rest of the world's *******

Somewhere in the back
Of my mind I'm fixated
On my most ****** up failures

Nothing ever lasts
So don't get attached
Everyone leaves
So don't ever love

2 days in this bed
It was 3 days last week

Maybe tomorrow
I'll feel a little more god-like
When the wolves are at the door

This is basic. It doesn't even flow right, I know. My heads been cloudy lately and needed to vent

Colten Sorrells May 2016

Again I Walk This Darkened Road (but I do not walk alone)

my life packed in my guitar case
I left without a plan
I tire of being life's punching bag
I'm running out of sand

I'm tired of trying to please them all
it all just makes me sick
but when I try to stand my ground
I'm taken for a *****

since I found my serenity
they try to walk all over me
emerging from a life of sin
they all forgot just where I've been

I've really had about enough
they think I won't still **** them up
I'm wiser than I used to be
but there is still a beast in me

deep down I'm still the kinda guy
that you don't want to test
those same old demons still reside
right now they're just at rest

I've found a source of courage, too
that don't mean I'm not scared
I'm standing at the gates of hell
this time I came prepared

I still walk down the darkened path
but now I'm not alone
I've God and Satan by my side
wherever I may roam

From ~4/1/16~

*TRUTH

I'm going to be
off site a while

I'll be deep in prayer

I have a condition that is
creating havoc in my life right now

I'm sorry

I'm sure sorry for the
erratic way I read on site

I have trouble keeping on
an even keel

Either i am too depressed
to read, or I'm hyper
and write and read
a blue streak

Please bear with me!
I will catch up on my
reading if I can!

Lacrimosa

Night. All over his body.
Lithium lingers on the tongue.

Slow motion crawl into bed,
nothing for dinner except sleep.

His gaze. Colder than
the chill of a refrigerator.

He tells me he’d rather die
than **** me tonight.

Grabbing the fat that clings
under my chin, he tells me,

“Once I learn to love myself,
I promise I’ll love you next.”
