bipolar is not sudden anger
bipolar is not being volatile
bipolar is the ebb and flow of everything
it is the sound and the silence
the something and the nothing
bipolar does not exist as a fault
it is not an illness or something to be fixed
but it is not a gift either
bipolar is a trait, its in your dna
passed down from parent to child
it is a family secret, a family shame
no one likes to talk about it
first there are the good things
a goal, a drive, a hunger
the depression is starting
the hurting, the numbness
sometimes it all happens at once
the sadness and nothingness and numbness and hunger
remember what used to make you feel good?
do it, do it more, you dont feel anything yet, you have to do it more
this used to make you feel good
you do not serve a purpose
