ABOUT ME:
It's been a wild and crazy ride but I made it. I have a poem I wrote that I think pretty much says it all, and it goes like this:
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . TRAGEDY WITH A TWIST ©2008 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Just as I was about to leave from work when tragedy fell upon me . . .
My head was hurting like never before and I was unable to clearly see. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Even though being dazed and confused I attempted to look around . . .
Completely unaware I was laying flat on the ground. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Feeling as if a bomb had exploded deep inside of my head . . .
People rushed from all around thinking I might be Dead. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
As the Ambulance took me to the emergency room, I was still in a lot of pain . . .
All because an aneurysm had ruptured in my brain. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
It was nothing less than a miracle for me to have Survived . . .
But sometimes I feel it would have been better if I would have went ahead and died. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
I never was the same after that . . .
As I was unable to regain control of my life I ended up very fat. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Oh but wait that isn't all, as my life changed even more . . .
Especially after Bipolar Disorder came knocking at my door. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Bipolar Disorder is a devastating disease . . .
Ripping my life completely apart and doing it with great ease. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
It sneaks right upon you like a thief in the night . . .
Causing havoc and chaos, oh what terrible fright. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Although several years had passed before I was able to see . . .
Exactly why all my friends and family ran away from me. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Causing me much depression nearly more than I could bare . . .
Without another soul it seemed who really even cared. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
No longer capable of knowing who I could or could not trust . . .
My heart aching bad enough I thought it was going to bust. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Very aware I was losing control with paranoia setting in . . .
"Oh Dear God I beg you please don't let this happen again." ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Believe it or not I changed my name and my religion too . . .
Which only added confusion to what I was already going through. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Extremely terrified with the thought I might be going Crazy . . .
I even started passing out when everything started getting hazy. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Trying hard to stay awake at night while doing harm within . . .
Hoping to avoid all the nightmares from coming again and again. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
In and out of relationships, I married six or seven times . . .
Ending up after each divorce without a single dime. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Desperately wanting friendship and needing someone to love . . .
If only I had remembered to call on the Good Lord above. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Still to this day I feel the pain of my family dumping me . . .
Nevertheless I love them all . . . . . it's just the way it had to be. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Longing to be a grandma is something I've always wanted to be . . .
But that's a special privilege that was not allowed for me. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
After living with Bipolar Disorder for twenty some odd years . . .
Somewhere in that period of time, I learned how to hold back my tears. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
For those of you reading this poem who is Bipolar too . . .
It's important for me to let you know, I wrote this poem for you. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Way down deep inside of my soul I know without a doubt . . .
You are the one who can truly relate to what this is all about. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
At least there is a happy ending which I am about to share . . .
But first I'd like to take a moment and say a little prayer. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
God I pray you will allow me into heaven as I know you hold the key . . .
Thank you Lord for all of the blessings that you have given me. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
At times it seemed against all odds of me ever finding peace in my life . . .
But God himself had a different plan and made me a USMC Veteran's wife. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
We married eight wonderful years ago and he accepts me the way I am . . .
He's always been polite to me and even calls me mam. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Sometimes I feel he's an Angle from God that was sent to me . . .
He's always going out of his way to make me as happy as I can be. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
At times he makes me feel like a Queen when he makes my dreams come true. . .
Most of the time surprising me with what he's about to do. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Not only did he build us a beautiful home . . .
But surprised me with a Jaguar of my very own. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
There's no more nasty depression for me while I lay in the sack . . .
Bye bye paranoia, you're never welcome back. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
All the years of night mares are now totally gone . . . "Hip Hip Hooray" . . .
And I pray the same will happen for you, each and every day. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
“Take care my friend and God Bless”
