Bubbles

by Elizabeth (pen name) - Not entered

When I was "leveled"
on my medication,
I drove two hours
to the house
of the man
who drove me
crazy.
I saw my
little girl.
She ran calling
"Mommy"
We sat in
the early sun
We sat on 
a blanket
I blew bubbles
and she would say
"bubbles" and run
to smash them
with her little hands
Like her little world.

Reason for writing:

    This is about the horrors of being labeled "manic depressive".
I made the mistake of telling my fiance' that I was bi-polar
just before a man diagnosed with the same mental disease
gunned down people in a Church. From then..I was ever under
suspicion, no matter how good a mother others said I was.
He kept saying I was "crazy" and after a while I was.
