Bi-Polar Disorder Poem by Dylan Meacham

I am strong
I will not allow misery to rule me.
I will not allow other to belittle me.
I will love the stars in the night sky, as well as the dirt underfoot.
I will remain happy when I feel sadness try to break my spirit.
I will not mope when I don't get my way.
I will not close my eyes, and bury my head in the sand.
I will greet everyone i meet with a sincere smile.
I will play the hand I was dealt.
I will not do any of these things I have written.
I will not live up to my own expectations.
I will not stop the lie, and insist everything is fine.
I will die unfulfilled and alone.
I am weak.
