Spin Cycle ~ Bipolar Poetry

Spin Cycle

Trapped in a box
Feeling like I might drown
Struggling to keep my head above the water
I’m banging on the lid and trying to get out
Someone flips the switch
It’s the spin cycle
The box rumbles to a stop
And the water is gone
But I’m left dizzy and cold
On the cutting room floor
Just as my head begins to clear
I hear the cascade of a waterfall
I’m back to fighting for my life
The box is full now
And I can’t breathe
It’s instant agitation
I’m shouting in my sleep
I need a muzzle
What asshole flipped it this time?
It’s the fucking spin cycle again…

Hi fellow Bipolar. Its good that your're writing about it. I have found after a few years of being diagnosed with it that writing is the only way to vent about it. Counseling, family and friends still don't get it. Just write out all those beautiful emotions and thoughts we've been cursed with. Something good will come of it.

Thank you! I have a hard time writing since being medicated but sometimes I can still do it...if you ever want to talk there is a bipolar thread on AET or feel free to PM me anytime! :-)
