bi-polar disorder. Profiled: Sara. Manic Depressive. Symtoms: binges

A spend thrift, owing thousands
She cannot pay. Impulse Denial
Resistance is futile.

Her necessary way warrants
Interior decorating, Prohibited.

Commune asylume for several
years, she came. Clothes carried
in Nordstroms bags taunting
her along the way.

When she said sincerely,
"I used to follow my own
ideas too often..."

Open sesame Sara
returns to Society.

Medicare passport: Paxel,
zoloft, Prozac. She trys several
more.

She speaks deliberately, keeps
eye contact desperately. The
ordinary is impossible.

Assisted relocation, job development
and social workers find her work
in a hurry.

Promised confidentiality, a slip
of the tongue on the job and
she feels betrayed ...

No sooner is Sara
exposed as a looney,
she is now handled with care;
fragile on the job.

"I miss my sister and pray...
Sara's older sister Pamela.
"Before, her eyes would shine
blue."

Severity deepened her
depression. Dimmed, toxic
swamps replace a swimming pool
stare previously inviting sublime.

Difficult to diagnose, a professional
supposes. Remedy easily prescribed
but at what ...."

Cost discussed. Burdensome Fees,
HMO's. Who pays indiviually not in
dollars or common sense.

CALLER SPEAKS

Withhold comments, I think not.
Criticism. Cannot bite his tongue.
Democracy@! Freedom of Speech!
Air my reply

In America, 2000 something
millenium trumpets toot a mental
McCarthyism. Pharmaceutical
Communism.

Beat the odds one cannot survive
Stepford wives without taking a
'doll's' supply.

Never mind mental manipulation
silence censoring a future Arthur
Miller's 'After the Fall' or thereof.

This philosophy unchecked sold by
the ama.com would eliminate a
Saint named Joan who built a bridge
inside her head. Messengers travel
left hemisphere, right hemisphere.
Nebulous activity, conscious constructed
under pressure.

Liberty soothes the solar winds
of the third eye. Decision made and
swallowed, BIg Bang. Succeed in
deed, afterwards the libertarians
called her a spy.

Thank you caller

Sara, take your pills as you need
them but look in the mirror, look
within...if shopping makes you happy
....work the system, get an education
high paying salary, move away fall in
love start again.

Somewhere violet rays purple dawns
oppose noxious yellow poison devices.
Neutralize tanzien indigo hues in other
words get rid of  your blues...

ocean vision. rise. time again.
Spin the astral color wheel of good
fortune.
