Manic Nights and Depression Days

These are poems from my second poetry collection: Manic Nights and Depression Days

I have chosen three poems from each section of the book to capture some of the essence of each section

The first three poems are from Manic Nights and Days; The next set of three are from Depression Days and Nights; The third set of three are from Manic Nights and Depression Days

Each section was written during a different stage of bipolar disorder and felt my emotions and thoughts during mania,depression,and both or neither

I hope you enjoy reading these poems and if you would like more, my book is available for purchase on Amazon for $19.99

Thank you ❤️🧡💙🖤
