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.
