Re: I know,
Kasperhoe, I appreciate knowing that this poem has touched you so much. It means more to me than I can properly express. I've done a lot of thinking about this, too, and frankly, am surprised it came out as well as it did... Writing about it has helped me to gain a level of acceptance regarding my illness, as well as helping me to regain a certain amount of control over it. Thank you again for your kind words. Have a wonderful week, and a blessed Thanksgiving!

Re: To Live or Die?
Thank you so much, and you are so right! Writing has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. It's such terrific therapy - getting it out of your heart and your head so you can begin the healing process... Thank you for reading, I appreciate it more than you can know.

I know,
I have already commented on this poem. But I can't help it. I had to read it again. It made me think so much. And now it's like i just can't stop reading it.

To Live or Die?
Very poignant. Writing is the best therapy for getting through what you're experiencing. Take care.

Re: Thank you Sinome et al!
Actually, this poem describes what I felt before I was sent to the hospital the second time for a medication adjustment. I do believe I have psychic powers and that I can see and hear spirits - I have since I can remember - sometimes it's just hard to discern what is "psychic" and what is "bipolar" as far as the voices and visions are concerned. I have been stable now since August, and the meds adjustment has been a marvelous thing. I'm slowly learning to intuit the difference between the two, so I can function normally again. Thank you all for your feedback and support!

Very raw and honest poem ... and all I can say is that being that dying is not an option but a certainty that will happen to us all sooner or later... and considering there is a strong probability that this is the only chance we will have at "living" it seems that making the end come sooner than it has to come is not a wise action. If I were you I would try to look at what you are experiencing as a temporary side effect of whatever you are on... or perhaps as an interesting turn of events... who knows, maybe you ARE seeing spirits in which case you are special beyond imagination... whatever the case it is what it is and you should try to deal with it as well as you can. As everything changes I am sure what you are experiencing will change as well, sooner or later, probably for the better. Pray if you do that and rely in those you trust and love to see you through this. It will pass... everything does.. Be strong, you will be OK xoxoxo

Wow...
Well, I'm sorry. But that's the first word I thought of, when i wondered what to write as the subject.
I really found this poem very interesting. And I guess, I'll take a loopk if there should be or come more. :)
As I remember this is my first time as a visitor of your blog. But I guess it will not be the last time. So, see you another time.
I wish you a wonderful day. ;)

I was on some serious pain meds once and lived in a blur for the longest time!
