Deflated

Sides are drawn, and you are left in the dust.
The world is not what it once was.
You feel deflated.
All you once knew is gone.
Lies and corruption and you are deflated.

I thought you were my friend. I thought I could count on you.
Sides were drawn, and I was left standing alone.
Standing looking around, not knowing which way is up.

Deflated, and my soul aches, and I am left.
Dejected and alone, you know now who you can count on.
The sides were drawn, and you were left in the dust.

You want to scream and cry but it won’t matter.
Your soul aches but who cares.
Deflated and alone, but no one cares.
They only care for themselves and you were left alone.

A roller coaster ride, my mind’s domain,
From soaring highs to crashing depths, again and again.
Bipolar disorder, a constant dance,
Of mania’s embrace and depression’s trance.

On manic wings, I soar so high,
A boundless energy, that never seems to die.
My mind races, my thoughts take flight,
In a world of infinite possibilities, bathed in light.

But the crash comes, inevitable and swift,
A dark cloud descends, leaving me adrift.
Depression’s weight, it presses down hard,
On my weary spirit, my shattered guard.

I feel so lost, so empty and void,
My motivation drained, my soul devoid.
The simplest tasks seem insurmountable,
Each day a struggle, a haunting lament.

But I’m not alone in this fight, I know,
Others share my journey, through highs and lows.
And so we dance, this bipolar waltz,
With courage and grace, in spite of all.

For in the darkness, there is always light,
And in the depths of despair, there is hope in sight.
We are survivors, we are resilient,
Together we rise, forever brilliant.

So let us embrace our bipolar minds,
With all their complexities, their unique designs.
For we are more than our disorder, we are whole,
Beautiful souls, with stories to be told.
