It's been a struggle,
a fight to carry on.
Stay out of the hospital,
I had determined.
I had tired of those visits.
At one time, they were useful
because they made me feel safe.
At one time, even enjoyable
and so were the manic episodes.
But the last hospitalization
was a disaster and finally,
I thought, looking in the mirror,
one day, I'm not doing this
any more. I CAN control it.
And I have.
Five and a half years now,
Hospital free.
