Mad Soup

Serina, one great expression of anguish in your own inimitable style. You are great!

"The bane of my life
Is an evil beast
Upon my mind it dines
A thief attending a sumptuous feast"

This is phenomenal!

Serina - This is a very affecting piece of work and left me wondering - how do you get off that train?

serina this definitely needs to be published, it is very good,

Serina~ You take us through your pain and darkness with your words!!! So descriptive and filled with emotions!!! I can feel the grief myself.......

I second Carol's suggestion. Serina this is GREAT, WONDERFUL, ARTICULATE.....PERFECT. I felt your pain.

Thank you everyone for your comments. It has been a rough last week, I guess you can tell. Whenever I get down I write poetry. I'm weird like that. Thanks again to you all.

Wow, you did an amazing job with your writing. Hope the next week gets much better for you Serina.

One word, Serina: Priceless!

A moving expression of the illness that can sometimes take over our heads. A big fat 10 for a talented author. I especially enjoyed your characterization of the ride as the The Bipolar Express. Nice, nice job, Serina.

There IS a way off that train... but then how do you get where you're going? Buses smell, walking hurts the feet, flying, well, how can you be sure you won't be kept captive in the airport while they search every orifice, bicycles are not safe in the city, the only way I know of that works is to get a friend to come round and pick you up in their car. A GOOD friend...

Interesting work here, Serina the Confused! The picture goes great with it. Good job.

Serina can I get a side of bat shit crazy with that?

I love the comments everyone has contributed to this poem. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. Some questions are left to be answered, like how do you get off the train of happiness. You don't. Unless depression has taken a grip upon your reality again and you jump, praying to God into his hands he will take you. A car is not always the answers. One time I was convinced my car was trying to kill me.

Diana, we have been connected for a long time. Your comment means the universe to me.

Travis, so glad you could finally see the batshit crazy side of me. It is something I am not ashamed of but something I wish to advocate through my writing someday. I am not one of those madness equals creativity people unfortunately, as we can all see. I was left out of that bunch. Shit, don't life suck! But as we can see through history it is likely that there is a link. One I only wish I could find within myself. Mabye, perhaps maybe, it would give life more of a purpose and goal. I just don't know.

"I am not one of those madness equals creativity people unfortunately,"

I would say you are..

Travis, thanks for the compliment. You make me blush.

THE BIPOLAR EXPRESS!

If you are happy and you know it, you are on the wrong fucking train.


Priceless dear sis. I love the way you express yourself. I just wish I had an eighth of your talent for putting this crazy disease into words. Mine just sits in my head and festers.

Dearest Serina, you are such an inspiration, your way with words of depression have convined me to learn to somehow put mine into words. Stay tuned, I will send you a personal invite when I get it finished. I think this one may be a good one.
