Polar Shift
Though I hate to admit it
i'm bipolar
and it's like a roller coaster
with the ups and the downs
when manic I ignite like a fuse
a short one
feeling low about that now
so I deleted my poem 'Fuck you
because I wasn't sure anymore
it needed to be said
maybe I was wrong
about the poet's connotations
concerning my poem
My shadow weeps
it's still hard to tell
but I know this he didn't deserve
my response
so i'm eating my words
they taste better
than feeling like a fool
from the heart I appreciate
all that rallied to my side
but in this case I think
it was me not seeing
things straight[/i]
(thank you Craic for editing this for me :) peace Crim)

Very relatable, I've deleted alot of potentially good work, or just never posted it myself, because I felt like I was being attacked by the community here. Not sure if Bi-Polar disorder causes me to get extremely paranoid sometimes, or perhaps it's something else, but I have had the feeling of being attacked and wrongly judged most of my life. Anyway, I'm probably rambling now, but anyways, excellent write. I didn't see it, but I'm sure the poem you deleted was also excellent.

I think you kick a lotta ass, Crim. I would never attack you. I would never attack another poet (or artist of any type)...it's tough enough just battling the day-to-day morons out there, the ones who would deny us the right to write, the ones who look down on us for doing what we do, the art we create...the ones who believe that what we do is a waste of time, or worse, the ones who are threatened by what we do, what we create. There are numerous dark forces at work, as we speak, to deny us the right to be creative. I have enemies to aim my hostilities & sarcasms at, & none of them frequent poetry sites. Not even the trolls...I'm talking about the enemies of artistic freedom. & they are out there. The trolls are mostly harmless. Just keep on being you, Crim. I promise I'll always have your back.
Don't feel too bad...I've snapped at my fair share of people in my life. I'm 40 years old, & I STILL do it on occasion. You'd think I'd have learned by now. Emotionally, I'm more like 20. & I know plenty of 20-somethings who have the emotional state of an 80 year old. Life is complicated, & we are all individuals.
Keep up the killer poesy, Crim :)

Does the time of day effect you? I always seem to start the day all right, but night comes and so does blackness. I recognize it, but don't know how to change it...

dear dear Crim..i feel you..seriously! writing in anger or angst or frustration then deleting because you recognize it for what it is ..wow! sometimes for days in a row..hurt and striking back, then realizing the hurtful intent wasn't present..just our own insecurity..thank god there is a backspace button...:) peace my friend

Great poem! I've also deleted lots of stuff. Some that didn't go down with people or put me (seemingly) in a bad light. Other times I haven't cared what people think.

I really feel these words. The thing is you have to be careful. Communication is a final entity. You cannot un write anything really. Thank you for your inspiring tale.
