#outgoing
Respair, it’s not fair. I am standing on a wire, I wish not to be a liar. Lean a little to the left you will fall to your death, little to the right to find prosperity and ease that will make you feel light. I might be scared to fall, or maybe not at all. Perhaps to keep my options mine, have no responsibility on either side. I think I stand here for the challenge, to keep me on my toes, for that is what I’ve always know.

Walking a Barbed Wire.
You are no longer the same Your smile has be beaten so bad that I can no longer recognise it Your eyes scream that your in pain while you fake a smile You keep your mouth shut and your thoughts to yourself You used to be outgoing and happy You used to be very opinionated You used to have a smile that could light up the whole town What happened What happened to your laugh can you no longer use it What happened to your smile can you not repair it What happened to your confidence can you not find it That's ok I will help you repair what is broken, find what is lost, use what is discarded, I will bandage up what has been beaten. I will help...

What happened to you
The bipolar life I live Thoughts so thin Like paper planes They can fly so perfectly Then crash to an island near by. The bipolar human i am My emotions mean nothing My emotions mean something. The bipolar thoughts i think I feel so outgoing I feel so unspoken. What am I?

Bipolar
I never thought about it that much But making conversation is really hard stuff Put me on stage without a script and I'll shine Put me in a group of girls and I'll cry Because I'm a one of a kind extroverted introvert Really ******* confident and out of it But incredibly ******* shy I never really thought about what I say that much I think the most honest form of communication is touch If I want you out of my space I'll mumble "go away" But my actions are a lot louder throwing a punch at your face I struggle over Facebook when you say "what up" Because I'll say "hey" and immediately log out Its like my personality wants to be known But my words are muffled and rarely shown I'm a one of a kind extroverted introvert I don't expect you to understand

Extroverted Introvert
When everyone is outgoing I am awkward. When everyone is outside I am inside. When everyone is happy I am sad. Why should I be outgoing? Why should I be outside? Why should I be happy? What is outgoing? What is outside?   What is happy? Outside these walls I have never been.

Inside these walls is where I live.
They see me alone all the time. They wonder, they judge, and they criticize. They worry, give in, and think they are the ones I am to rely. But they must know I am just fine. Who do I bother? Why do they care? I feel so confident, independent, contempt and strong. I go out into the world alone I do nothing wrong. To them, that is a DARE. I'm alive, I'm here, I have self-security, I have no fear. Though a butterfly must travel alone to find the right place and to settle and roam. Then they may not be friends, but saying hi is always worth a try. I have not died. I live in a way that is a concern, but when they see what I can do, they learn. How independence is gifted from the heart. Avoidance is a move that can be very smart. They see I show up, in shock, let them be. I'm alive is what they get by the presence of me. Everyday and the future is not going anywhere. Because now, I'm alive. I must be productive and wise. I'll do what I want, and if I'm alone, I'll do it. I'll go. So I dare.
