Diagnosis; Bipolar.

by CourtneyyContageous   Aug 22, 2008


Just some words I can't comprehend
"She'll never be the same."
What did I do to deserve this punishment?
A fate I'll live with everyday

"She'll have the highest highs,
But also the lowest lows.
Living with this isn't easy
But it's better if you know."

Looking back and fourth
Words being said, words I don't know
Mother's worried, doctor's staring
Why do they look at me so?

"She'll have to have some medication,
To help control these bouts.
I'm sorry ma'am I really am
But with her I have no doubts."

We left with a prescription paper
Another pill I hate to take
Bipolar Disorder it's supposed to help
And this diagnosis was no mistake

The doctor sticks his head out the door
Looking at me, shaking his head
"Good luck Courtney, It'll soon get better."
And I'm thinking, yeah when I'm dead.

    From what I've read of yours, you write with complete honesty. Even if there are imperfections, your poems are beautiful to me. They're sad, but not pitiful. They're depressing, but not annoyingly so. You have talent.

    Overall impression after reading: Very, very good.

    ^ As far as I understood, the second and forth line was to rhyme. The first one's don't, the second verse, almost. I got a little confused by this, asking myself: is this supposed to rhyme or what? It sort of ruins the enjoyment of reading.

    ^ I love this stanza. I mean I LOVE it. One thing though, is it supposed to say fourth? Isn't it forth? I could be wrong though.

    ^ I gotta love the ending. It was suitable, brilliant and so close to perfection, I bow down in the dust.

    Heartfelt, raw and honest - a great poem.

    That part really struck me as interesting.

    A stagger amount of Americans go undiagnosed, you are really fortunate. Bipolar disorder at an early age is normally very hard to detect.

    This poem shows alot of what you went through , and makes it understandable for someone who would normally have no idea. I like the rimes , but sometimes the flow isn't so great , but otherwise it's awesome . 4/5
