I wrote this poem back in September 2010. I had never written a poem before and have not written one since. It is hard to describe what it is like to suffer from Bipolar. People who do not know what you are going through think you can 'just snap out of it'. It is not in our control we can not just 'snap out of it' it is not a choice! I wish that everyone could just for once experience the pit of darkness that a person with depression or Bipolar suffers from. Just get a little taste then and only then would the selfish judgmental comments stop. That someone would think we would intentionally choose to put our loved ones through that kind of neglect and suffering. That would make us heartless and cruel! I wrote this poem during the middle of the night. While my husband and kids were sleeping. It is simple but it is to the point.All Rights Reserved
