Bipolareality

Bipolareality

A Poem by Livi Mariotti
"

Up, down, and everywhere around.

"

What a night tonight.

The emotions run rapidly,

And I feel exhausted, overwhelmed with myself,

But I am leveled to a stable state of mind,

Of which I realize that where I am is a safe place,

And I will be okay to rest.

I close my eyes, breathe,

I am well, and

I am able to sleep just fine across this night.

And everything is okay,

Until the very next day,

As I cannot hold myself in place any longer.

When I wish myself away,

I cry as I dream to either die or fly,

It is yet another episode,

Elevating the plot, elevating my heart rate,

Every episode tells a story of its own.

This one is especially deranged,

But all the episodes may add up,

What story will they might tell?

I feel drained,

So I attempt to take it easy,

And try to drift away.


I drifted away,

Woken up scattered.

I am out of it now, but I know

That will change.

I will have my difficulties, along with my

Great success.

My depressions and my being elated will be spread

throughout my life, and

My emotions will change.

I struggle with depression and anxiety and bipolar disorder. This poem is so accurate and meaningful. You helped me understand you on a deeper level. The pain can be overwhelmingly suffocating, and you have put it into words that others might understand a little better.

I also know what it is like - very difficult. Good expression. Well done.
