people
don’tunderstand
how condescending
it is
when you
write off
everything
as

oh,
he is bipolar.
give him time
it’ll pass.

not every
instanceofupset
is insanity.

i know
the walls of
my prison
every crack
and crevice
i stay
silent as
i figure out
if it is
irrational
or real
before speaking.

i am not
only
bipolar
with
borderline
personality
disorder.

i am a
person
living
withit.

don’t justify
your shitty behavior
with my crazy.

i am
just like you.
just treated
lesser than.
