Anyone see this site for BP outlet of poetry?

this is my second one that got published

The journey has led me far and wide
I have truly gone the distance
From up on the mountain, down the slimy pit
I have gone with very little assistance
Many times I''ve wanted to give up
I am alive, I have not died!
I have huddled in the corner where now I sit.
They look at me, blindly seeing a blob none know,
But comfort they can''t give to make me whole,
If I am to make it through to God,
I am to sojourn around the mountain
Until He says,"Come, my child, come journey home."
"I am with you, I am with you now, wherever you go."
Peace like a river settles in my soul
I will allow God to lift me out of the pit and wash my tear stained face in a bowl.
I come up to work another day
Helping others who feel this way
My journey almost complete,
I am going some day to my final home.

Good poem.  I think it's interesting that a lot of people with Bipolar disorder are also gifted with creativity.  Myself, I can write good poetry too supposedly but enjoy writing music more.

Yes very moving poem. I've had some poems published as well but not all would be appropriate for here but two that were I put in my journal entries. Poetry is an excellent outlet not just for creativity but for self understanding. I do collage work for the same reason as well.
