Life Poetry

A little over a year of living with bipolar type one. I ended a year off of medications deeply in love and with a stay in jail for joy-riding and fleeing and eluding. My family suffered, my friends suffered, and I suffered. This is a journal starting after my stay in jail. I respond to the journal entries all the following year, surprised mostly by the degree of my mental illness. This is not a self-help audiobook, and I struggle most of the time, not really coming up with many good solutions to my issues. Nothing about the past couple years has been easy.

"I lie in the dust and lookup at the world...." So begins the narration of an allegory revealing irony behind a perspective twist of education. "...I gaze up at the grasses towering above me.

I have lain in rain and sun and seen the lightening streak across the sky. I wonder if today is the day my life will move on again...."
