Polar Opposites

Katie Sherrill Barnett

Crumbling within

My countenance fades

Wonton despair evokes potent sadness

Sorrow holds my hand

In a breath, I feast on elation

Exuberance mounts and

Trickles down the wall

Electricity fires through blistered veins

Bliss enchants

Serendipitous highs

Forlorn lows

Errant abduction of the mind

    Neat description of what living with bipolar must be like.
    A brief but impressive account.
