I feel the veil of darkness
as the night is settling in.
It is getting tighter and restrictive
Around my chest and throat.
It prevents me from sleeping
Sure hope it won’t go any further
I think I know what it is
And hope that I am wrong.
Peace and serenity

I believe everyone of us has that potential. If writing poems has become a new-found passion of yours you will necessarily be good at it. Your poems are heartfelt, therefore, authentic. That is why I like them so much. To write very good poetry implies having read and reading a lot. Our writing reflects our most inner fears and it is passion and therapy, so let us keep doing it. Also, I think you could publish a book later with all your poems and texts. This would help other people who are also bipolar. In this respect, your work is a great contribution.

I’ve felt the same way before and I’ve written a poem similar to this too.
