The Bi-Polar Life

The thought with this poem began with a concept I gained from a motivational speaker who said that our entire world of opportunity is always expanding- including to the extent of the polar opposite of our current state. This made me think of my life, as someone who struggles with bi-polar-type symptoms, and I realized that we all live in a bipolar world to some extent. That made me explore what it would be like without extremes, without opposites, and all in all without it being a Bipolar Life....

-“How much do you Really WANT:

The desires of the flesh

The promised life

The highest flights

The brightest lights

The grandest sights

…All that surreal and vivid stuff?!

-beware- prepare to face:

The acid rain

The stunning pain

The hollow hope

The numbing sensation

The endless duration

.... For real surreal and vivid stuff!

*Congratulations, you have chosen the bipolar life!!!

Follow the pulsating light.....watch your step… and hold on tight"

(("You are now entering……………..”))

Bipolar gonna give it to ya

To All The Extremes

The highs

The lows

The joy

The pain

The Hell

The Heaven

The sunshine

The rain

Ya love it

Ya hate it

Ya hold it

ya fight it

ya want it

ya fear it

Ya bleed it

Ya need it!!!

The harshest extremes expand All limitations

The tightest restraints sweeten up liberation

The more time in mourning magnifies celebration

All the time wasted, falling, incubates elevation

A falling floor conversely raises the ceiling

The worst hurts always birth the best feelings

The deepest of cuts receive the most healing

Life finds it's level- Why doubt divine dealing?

The darker the night, the brighter the star

The higher the handicap the better the par

Pain that don't kill you just raises the bar

Bring on impossible- that's when miricles are

---"Dude! Just tell me what is REAL!!!"---

God hates to curse but He sure loves to test

Jesus won’t stand handouts but He sure loves to bless

The darker the Hell, the brighter the Heaven

The greater the drama, the greater the Hero

The deeper the hole, the greater the rise

The more bitter the battle, the sweeter the prize

The more dire the danger, the more fearless- more peerless

The most harrowing horror, the most moving story

The most sorrowful suffering, the most joyous glory

The rougher the waters, the more legendary

The longer the solidarity, the stronger love will be

The more dire the dilemma, the more angelic fame

The more numbing the shame, the more coming of age

The more certain the doom, the sweeter the salvation

The more repressing the oppression, the more reparation

The harsher the blow, the sweeter the next bliss

The most desperate desire, the most passionate kiss

The darker the stain, the more redeemed soul

The hotter the flame, the more purified gold

The colder the night, the warmer the embraces

The more blood I shed, the more Jesus replaces

Bipolar gonna give it to ya

to All The Extremes

The highs

the lows

The joy

The pain

The Hell

The Heaven

The sunshine

The rain

Ya love it

Ya hate it

Ya hold it

ya fight it

ya want it

ya fear it

Ya bleed it

Ya need it

The longer the odds the more greatness is inspired

The more beaten down the more strength is required

The more scars that i bear the more my faith is desired

The more that I lose, shows how much I've been given

The more blood I shed is just more proof I'm still livin'

The more that I'm doubted makes me even more driven

The more times I lose, the more I learn how to win

Each time that I can't, shows me just what I can

The more times I stumble- the more I can stand

The more hurdles that hinder me the more I'm over'em

The more haters accuse me, the more God overrules

The more obstacles I face the more I'll overcome

The Son of God conquered death and I'm Jesus' son

Even nailed to the Cross, Christ just said "It is done"

So F*ck you Luci! You know I already won!!!

Ain't no good, if ain't no bad

Ain't no happy, if ain't no sad
Ain’t no holy, if ain’t no evil

Ain't no angels, if ain't no devils

Ain't no blessing, if aint no curse

Ain't no better, if ain't no worse

Ain't no pleasure, if ain't no pain

Ain’t no pure, if ain’t no stain

Ain't no high, if ain't no low

Ain't no yes, if ain't no, no

Ain't no gain, if ain't no loss

Ain't no Grace, if ain't no Cross

Ain’t no Salvation, if ain’t no sin

But ain't no without, if 'I AM' is within

Bipolar gonna give it to ya

to All The Extremes

The highs

the lows

The joy

The pain

The Hell

The Heaven

The sunshine

The rain

Ya love it

Ya hate it

Ya hold it

ya fight it

ya want it

ya fear it

Ya bleed it

Ya need it

The more evil the Devil, the more righteous my faith

The more amazing the price, the more amazing the Grace

The more cumbersome my cross, the more wonderful my Christ

The more my Hell on Earth, the more honor in Heaven

The more mercy needed, the more power given

The stronger my armor,

The longer my spear,

The sharper my sword,

The more possessed by the Ghost

The more protected by Hosts….

--and yet count it all loss--

....The weaker I am the stronger The Lord

-------------------------------------

".....thy kingdom come, thy will be done

On earth just like it is in Heaven"

-------------------------------------

"Let my highs exceed my lows

My yes's exceed my no's

My joys exceed my whoa’s

Let my pleasure exceed my pain

My Abel exceed my Cain

My sunshine exceed my rain

Let my Heaven exceed my Hell

Let my wage exceed my bill

Let my Better exceed my worse

Let my Blessing exceed my curse!!

“Dear God bless my Bipolar Life!!!"
