It looks like you've been smiling for too long,
Can't control your own self,
People don't know who you really are,
Cause you are different when it comes to the outside world,
Cause you can't control your self.
Every day turns a day, Right?
But mine's different
Cause I am different,
Different from what you see,
Different from what you've expected.
You thought that I am the person that you're talking to,
Smiling and laughing with you,
Acting weirdly about things that don't exist,
But you are wrong,
I don't know who that is.
Living with Bipolar disorder,
Is a constant nightmare,
Extreme mood swings every day and night,
Depression equips up on you quietly,
You're telling yourself its temporary and it'll pass, but it does not.
You suddenly find yourself to a different person
Not knowing that its not you,
But then you realized and regret it,
You may get some help,
Or attempt suicide.

Richmond Gellez: Thank you! I'll try
Richmond Gellez: Thank you so much! yah more metaphors, but its not the way it is, bc its supposed to be a Spoken Poetry... This was one of my first Poetries during my depression a years ago... yet I wasn't still good from making any poetries there.... but now things has changed I made 50+ poetries about depression, and they are more likely to be metaphorical....
here's my sample,
The skies above comforted thee
For all these years, that I could see
Shining down between my safe haven,
Through forth what's below worth savin'.
Oh Sky within the moon!
I worship your beauty
For Your Light above cleanses thy room.
Between your shimmering beauty.
Is it good? thank you so much again for your comment :))
Mmasetshaba: I Love it.
And I love how you so specific in it.
try using more metaphors to cause some curiosity towards the reader . trust me it's good
