MENTAL HEALTH'S A WHITE ROSE
By: Jess A. Fox
I ached but had trouble admitting it.
I should admit myself and I did it.
I tried to understand how I was the problem.
Relationships continued to end; I must be the problem.
I tried to understand what is that I do.
I chose to remain single and bored than to get it too.
But then it became a lie, I lied here to get it.
I talked for days about it to try and get it.
Do I have autism? I felt out of the norm.
Mixed in understanding the emotions I form.
I stood there depressed and in a manic state.
As I tried to balance another heartache.
Mental health is something that many don’t understand.
I knew it until it was played into my hand.
I had a short fuse it’s something I knew.
Revert to the anger that is something everyone knew.
But I lived with superego always in my head.
I just could not control blackouts and that’s when it's bad.
I tried to learn from the past, but I felt I never learned the lessons.
Carried the lessons over but I still had no blessings.
No blessings and it hurt my world.
I wish I could find the reasons I hurled.
I hurled all my beliefs to later than cry.
I choose to change, and society made me cry.
They say girl you're just bored but I know that it's more.
Blackouts ended relationships I truly adore.
I said I’d try to get it and generally did too.
Looked at all my flaws and tried to fix them too.
They say it's my atmosphere I don’t feel secure when I attach.
But then again I did all I can do to prove I can easily attach.
I try to understand myself, but I know that it's rare.
For humans to fully comprehend even when they're not there.
It’s rare like a white rose we all wish to hold.
Sad, I compare my bipolar to a flower, it is bold.
A flower we all desire so why do I compare?
Don’t all humans need an up and a down to be made aware?
Aware of all emotions, type 1 explores all emotions.
But then again I’m not fully in control of all my emotions.
I call myself a white rose because I know that I am rare,
Type 1 bipolar it’s so beneficial if I made room to compare.
Compare myself to the red rose, an atypical society.
I know I could grow super if I mastered my emotions of variety.
I am a white rose, they’re a white rose, mental health’s a white rose.
Sadly, if we don’t understand it, this could be opposed.
But I am a white rose my emotions are simply priced higher.
Saying being in tune with all emotions is something to desire.
When I grow manic it’s really made clear,
I am a white rose because my desire for something is rare.
I continue and continue to try and get it or do it or simply have something around.
Imagine when manic turns controlled how one can turn a world around?
So, I am a white rose, I say it again.
Because even in my down and I can rise once again.
Rise once again because I know the emotions I hold.
If I ruled the world, I am saying this out bold.
Bold because the red rose doesn’t easily see,
The rareness within the white roses to be.
White roses to be; because being bipolar made me better.
No longer a seed because I wish for better.
In wishing for better I can now grow.
My roots are attached to the therapy too.
And now that I am ready, I am ready to glow.
Just another white rose who chose to understand what people call a show.
