My mental illness
In the depths of swirling thoughts and dreams,
Where reality blurs and teeters on extreme,
A mind dances to its unique song,
A symphony of chaos, where I belong.
Schizophrenia whispers in my ear,
Voices echoing, both far and near.
They paint vivid pictures, a kaleidoscope,
A world unseen where boundaries elope.
Bipolar tides crash upon my shores,
A rollercoaster of emotions it pours.
From soaring highs to the depths of despair,
I navigate the storm with utmost care.
BPD, a dance of shifting tides,
Emotions raging like powerful slides.
I feel with passion, love with fire,
Yet sometimes drown in the depths of mire.
ADHD, my mind a hummingbird's flight,
Thoughts fluttering, darting, taking flight.
Focus fleeting, a constant chase,
Yet creativity blooms in this vibrant space.
CPTSD, a ghost from days past,
Echoes of trauma that cast a vast,
Shadow over present, future, and past,
Yet resilience built, a strength to outlast.
Each condition a piece of my intricate soul,
A puzzle I navigate, a unique role.
But within the challenges, I find strength,
A resilience that carries me through each length.
I embrace the quirks, the highs, the lows,
For they shape the person that I have chose.
In this tapestry of colors, I find my way,
A journey of self-discovery day by day.
So, let's not laugh at what may cause pain,
But rather find compassion and refrain.
For those who face these battles unseen,
Let's extend our understanding, like a serene dream.
