To My Brothers And Sisters
These 2 poems are dedicated to anyone out there who has been diagnosed with a mental illness.
has-beens
the sanest
i have ever been
occurred right beside
the insanest
i have ever been
(i guess we are
has-beens
once we have
flipped the equation)

Please Be Patient
With Us
Bipolar People
Jesus Christ
knocked down
some things
in the temple
but he raised
a few
more people
up.
