i am a 21 year old budding poet and in my spare time its all i do. lol. i was diagnosed a few years ago with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. my theropist suggested all sorts for my depression like art theropy that didnt work, counselling and hypnotherapy none of these worked until one day i picked up a pen and wrote down what i was feeling and to my surprise the words i had written rhymed and made sense. from then on poems have been my counselling and my antidepressants and im happy that i started writing poem i now have some thing in the region of 250 poems written since 2007.
i sit in a park where i dwell,
for this boy i love so well.
he took my heart away from me,
now he wants to set me free.

She begs him to stop, she begs and she pleads,
but the harder she cries, the harder she bleeds.
She's wondering why he's hurting her so,
but her eyes are getting heavier with each stinging blow.

You promised you wouldn’t hurt me
You swore you would always be true
And now I look around
And I can’t seem to find you
...
Tears are always running down my face
I hang my head low thinking 'what a disgrace? '
The tears are coming from all the damage you caused
What do you want now, a round of applause?
