Pia Weninger: Living with Bipolar no 1 – A ballon realising its potential (Text)

Living with Bipolar no.1.

A ballon realising its potential

You are blown – up like a ballon –

flying in the sky –

with no idea –

what will happen –

right below.

 

There is no ground –

to step onto.

No light to look into.

Everything is loose.

You wonder –

„Where are the other ballons?“

 

Until one day –

out of the blue –

there is this colourful one *!*

It talks to each and every one.

 

All clouds are turning white.

The sun shines bright.

The ballon feels incredibly high up.

 

But – one day.

The sun does not rise,anymore –

birds do not fly,anymore –

the sky turns black.

The ballon is scared by loosing

its colour and its track.

 

This time –

it falls to the ground.

It is breathing in and out –

by realising its potential –

either, high up or on the ground.
