Off to the side I sit

Idly by watching time

Pass by my side as I

Attempt to persuade

Guardian Angels to untie

My bounds that hold me

Prisoner to this idle body

Lazy, full of pride

My eyes glazed over with envy

For the riches of others

As I sun away in jealousy

Of the beauty others hold

Which captivated my soul

Feeding the jealous monster

That awaits in the dark recesses

Of the mind to devour

Happier thoughts and

Cause smiles to frown

As malicious tricks

Which steal away the joy

Of life well spent in happiness

When depression clambers

Against the walls of mind

Holding back the forces

That are darker

Then the emotional baggage

That comes with Bipolar.
