Ask Anyone

I’m white, tall, learned,

masculine and macho!

For a fellow that’s not often

mellow, I should learn!

I’m not always a Bear,

I’m sometimes a really

great lover, companion

and friend, ask anyone!

I'm an angry man,

I do what I can. 

What makes me that way?

It's rather hard to say.

It's usually a blow up,

When I should shut up!

Sad, sorry, stymied, and stewing.

I'm not actually sure of what's brewing.

After an outburst, I'm always apologizing,

When I probably should be aggrandizing.

With a simple, old one track mind,

I ought to learn to be more kind!

I seem to always be on the verge of loosing it,

why can't I do better and engage in a kinder bit? 

At least I'm learning to say

there should be another way.

Bipolar, mean, snappy, or just quick

I really should get a superior schtick.

I must try to be a better guy

Or she will be forced to fly!


Author notes

Author's Notes:  This is my entry poem for the contest:  PIF-Pomposity

The drawing above is a repeat of the "pompous king" drawing from the PIF contest announcement, thanks -- it fits my poem to a "T."

 

This poetic theme for the Prompt "Pomposity" conveys, starting in free verse and ending in rhyme what bipolar people often feel about themselves. They can be and often are the most pompous people around anywhere!

    An interesting take. I never really thought of bipolar disorder this way. Thank you for sharing this with us. Well done!
