a bipolar life
i’m feeling twilight
my arms and legs
feel heavy
yet they are floating
on translucent blue air
i’m feeling midnight
all weight is gone
i am soaring through
the black star speckled sky
searching for you
on your nightly flight
i’m feeling daybreak
measuring my night
in terms of time spent
with you across the universe
in search of sunrise
you’re here next to me
dreaming with a
smile on your face

one flight up and through
door 521 is the first real
home where i lived
alone, my life solitary,
not lonely, full of life,
full of music and light.
a place, where i learned
things, about life, about
love, about death and
mortality, about the
nature of being human,
about human nature,
i learned about how
to be a friend, and how
to deal with betrayal,
i learned about music,
about sex, i learned
to appreciate the sound
of freedom, even in
the middle of a migraine
i learned how to write,
how to get deep down
inside and express the
deepest and the darkest
i learned how to escape
into myself, i learned what
depression really is
but most of all, wrapping
all these things and more
together i learned
what it is to be me
