With my life
I was always going
To have needed therapy and
Anti-depressants at some stage.
I convinced myself
That with bipolar,
A meltdown was
Inevitable at some point.
I probably did
Hasten the process,
But the meltdown
Did not have
To culminate the way it did.
It was unfortunate
It spiralled that far.
Not everyone finds
Their way back.
I am certain the artist in me saved me.
Without that side of me,
I woudn't be here.
