Today I’m down so deep To where the world is fallin’ in. And it’s darker here Than every night I’ve ever seen combined. I wish that I could cry out Before the walls cave in. But today I’m down so deep That I might as well Die.
Today I’m up so high To where there’s nothin’ left to breathe. And the chatter Keeps on growin’ So I can’t hear any reason. My thoughts can’t flow out fast enough To end my growin’ fears. But today I’m up so high That I might as well Die.
I guess I’ll never know Why I get so High Or Low… Oh! How I miss the days Of standin’ On the Ground!

About this poem:
Something I wrote a few months back about having Bipolar 2. It ain't fun. But I'm proud of how this turned out (I normally just write song lyrics, not plain ol' poetry) Hope you guys like it :D
Very nice write.....and depiction. Welcome to the poet's corner.

swade777- Thanks! thumbsup: I'm pretty open about having bipolar (and Asperger's)- that's part of dealing with 'em for me. Whooooo, Colorado! XD

I understand. While I'm not bipolar, I do have depression.
