I, personally, don't think it has to be bp related. My thought is more that it will give other people a glimpse inside our minds. The basis of fear lies in that which we don't understand. I think that by giving people who are not bp a glimpse into our minds it will help them 1)understand how we feel because of what we go through and 2)the unrelated poetry will show them that we are just like them in a lot of ways, the things that we think, the things that we feel, and the facts of life that we face just like them. Like I said, I want to help educate people about bp and help reduce the stigma attached to having a mi. I just think poetry is a great way to do it because I think it is one of the most emotionally honest forms of writing.
