Poetic Thoughts header

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

has-beens

Please Be Patient
With Us
Bipolar People

Jesus Christ
knocked down
some things
in the temple
but he raised
a few
more people
up.
