These are the oftentimes tumbled thoughts of a bipolar mind going through rapid cycling. You have no idea what it is like to try to think while your thoughts are racing and your opinions are changing as they are being formed. But some of this is just life, depression,anger at being misunderstood and discriminated against, or maybe it's just the medicine or I've just really lost my grip!

The Fragile Lioness -- to Monica




You with the inquisitive eyes,
the searching soul,
my strong and intelligent daughter.
You are the fragile lioness.

Others see your resolve and conviction
held out for justice and fair play.
Immersing yourself deeply in such issues
indeed, you have the ferocity of the lioness.

But the world is rank with intolerable wrongs
and you are one of the Conscious-Caring.
I see your fragile nature exposed
when injustice torments your soul.
