Your mind is your own enemy; it can put you on the highest pedestal or neglect you're even alive. When you think your drowning, you have just enough air to breath. It is a battle that penetrates so deep into your heart and soul. The emotions one feels are both a dark curse and a beautiful gift. There is peace within this storm. The dark and the light play a graceful song that creates the most magnificent creativity and beauty. The pain comes and goes and so does the happiness. But their is faith that it will always return again. Someone who is Manic-Depressive is someone who truly knows how it feels to be alive.
This is a self-portrait. I was diagnosed at 19 with this disease and everyday I learn to accept the person I am and the person I always will be.
