Voices
Usually my Jennifer is sunny, filled with white light.
I have an illness that sets in.
And the clouds that appear during my sick mania are ominous.
Telling of the storm brewing in my head.
Thunder a warning: Don't dare listen to the voices Jennifer, they are liars.
Grumbling voices speaking lightning flashes of insanity.
Altering objectivity and judgement.
The aftermath blues, down and dirty isolation.
My God how quick Sunny white does become pitch black.
(comp entry what color is your rain)

Yes, indeed, our moods take the merriment out of us, but we also understand that the fight we have fought to be able to smile is worth everything. You betcha we have dark days and thoughts, but the Jen who is sunny, and is filled with white light is the "real" Jen!.

Dealing with bi-polar depression, I can totally relate to this. Loving music, I immediately thought of The Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black".

Hey, Long time no talk. I just want to say, once again you've written something I can so truly relate to. Newly Diagnosed with Epilepsy, and anxiety.. The medication has taken a toll on me. Every day I wonder if today is the day i'm going to snap and become "insane". I can have the best day of my life, but it only takes a few seconds for my dark thoughts to sink in.. Thank you for once again putting my thoughts into words in which I had trouble doing so myself.

I hope it was a manic night followed by a sunny day with no rebound. I understand the poem in the way that only a fellow sufferer can. I applaud your honesty Jen! Excellent writing.

I can sure feel that ending. I get the bipolar blues and it's a lot more than a sinking feeling. It's a plummet. I've never heard voices, but I imagine that's terrifying. You have a gift for exploring psychological matters in vivid, accessible terms. "Lightning flashes of insanity." Wow! Fine work Jennifer!

Awe, thanks. The voices only happen once total mania triggers psychosis. Not often.
