I don't know how to talk to anyone lately
whatever I say comes out wrong.
People misinterpret my words greatly
wich is why I am singing this song.
Those who are offended, I didn't mean to upset you
those who think I am a fool, I am not really one at all.
I just can't explaine myself, so get a clue
don't try to bring me down and beat and maul.
I'm not usually like this,
I don't know what is happening to me
my memory is full of holes like swiss
oh please, can't you see?
I am not trying to snub you
or act like an airheaded fool
you don't need to snear at me and make me feel blue
you know, picking on someone who has Bipolar, that is just not cool.
Author notes
I just can't think, I can't think, I can't say what I mean, I feel so... alone, so lost.

you caught some of the things i go through directly and you are right we don't intend to hurt people are say what we said especially me sometimes i just start crying un controllably because i can't understand the emotions the shut down but i like this good luck in the contest

I got to be honest, I do not like you're writing style, and this is just me talking but, I think it's a little too straightforward, not in a good way like Bukowski, but in a childish way. Not calling chilidish at all, and not talking bad about being bi polar, but it's just the lines seemed a little too trite and it took away from any the emotion you tried to put into this piece. It just wasn't original in my eyes. I don't know, but this is the only one I've read, I'll read some more. Ho

well, when I wrote this I was having failure communicating. Thus why the title is there to warn you that I am failing to communicate, or was that day. This was more a vent than anything else.
A lot of my poetry is said to be childish, but that is often my style of writing. My bi-polar makes me have a very child-like personality sometimes, and that happens to be when I write most of my poetry. Thanks for reading though. Sorry you didn't like it, but I did try to warn the reader that I can't communicate well.

It's easy to misinterpret what one doesn't understand. And it's equally as difficult to explain yourself to them. Acceptance of the outcome is rarely the outcome.
I hear your words, I've always been on alternating wavelengths with my mom / family.

Powerful write; I have BiPolar and have been battling it since I was 13 and I know it isn't easy and to have people attacking doesn't help at all
If you ever need to rant, you are more than welcome to come to me mate.
Amazing write.
Stay safe

The ups and downs, highs and lows of bipolar disorder...not much fun at all. I'm half bipolar myself...I have schizoaffective disorder, 1/2 schizophenic, and the "affective" part is bipolar disorder. Fun, fun. Or, not.
But, we take life as it comes, and the ones who do not understand, can take a hike!
I hope you are able to deal with the deck of cards you've been dealt, and that your low mood lifts soon.
