Being Bipolar is Fun
Michelle Greenblatt
Being Bipolar is kinda
Fun, right?
The depression gets you way into T.V.
I’m an NBC
Addict. I’ve softened
My side of my hard
Spring Mattress and flattened my fluffy
Pillows.
Mania? I don’t have it the best; it’s
Dysphoric in its nature, but I get
A lot done
Anyway.
Plus I have OCD
In an original sorta way
See, I can
Think the same thought
Think the same thought
Think the same thought
Obsessively
Until I compulsively
Pick up the phone
And call him 50 times,
Maybe more.
Plus the Panic Disorder
(Which I think is giving me
Me an ulcer)
Makes the hair on my arms
Stand up and salute
This power-
And powerful it is
The panic
The fear
The surges
The urges
The crackling of the air
In my yellow
Lightning shot
Eyes
The shallow breaths
The only breaths
My lungs can draw
In
But I get along okay
Because my Borderline Personality
Lets me charm and discard
At will.
