"Life is tough and I'm feeling the pinch!"

Life.... Mood
Thursday, May 29, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

The waves have stopped

The storm is calm

I'm gaining control

Since it's been gone

 

 

Inside of my head

A million thoughts race

My body is not used

To such a "normal" pace

 

 

Many times I'll wonder

How long will this last?

One thing I know for sure

Is it sneaks up real fast

 

 

My life before me I see through a haze

I can only live from day to day

Living with bipolar has taken my sight

Every single day seems to be a fight!

 

 

Day by day and hour by hour

This crippiling disease takes my will power

I know it will be with me through the rest of my life

Daily I pick up my sword and stay in the fight

 

 

 

I long deep inside to end this game

I just can't handle all of this pain

But I know it wouldn't be fair to let go

I'd be hurting too many so I continue in this show

 

 

 

One day they may come up with a cure

Until that time I need to endure

Oh this  game of life we've been given

But it'll be worth it all when we get to Heaven!

    This is absolutely beautiful Ramona. You have a great gift with words.
    I feel your pain here. My daugher has bi-polar too, and I know how she suffers. Maybe you will be able to level out on the right meds. It happened for my daughter...it can happen for you.
    DO NOT lose hope Ramona. God is in control of your life...I know this is awfully depressing and difficult to live with, but you are here for a reason, me too, and we have to take our lives and what they dish out.
    I'm praying for us all Ramona....God hears!!
    Blessings to you today.
