I hope you are feeling better now.

What a very moving poem. Dark, explosive and in the end "hope remains".
I joked with another patient by whispering "hey, your bipolar is showing" and looked behind him when I said it. He tried to look behind himself to see what it was. lol We laughed together and it became an inside joke between us. I miss Michael. Over the last 17 years I continued our inside joke by saying that phrase to myself. Repeating, 'Your bipolar is showing' countless times. Laughing or crying.
However, "hope remains" when I realize I only said it 5 times this week instead of 10.
Thanks for the poem and inspiration.
