MEET BIPOLAR BEAR

A mystery.
A free spirit.
A part of me.

The Bear moves between strength and vulnerability, solitude and belonging. These poems give those contrasts a voice.

A POEM TO BEGIN WITH

Whimsical Whispers: The Tale of Bipolar Bear

Bipolar Bear is a mystery to all
He roams the lands, both big and small
His fur is soft, his eyes so bright
He's a wonder to behold in daylight

He likes to eat fish straight from the stream
And berries picked fresh, a delicious dream
He'll play in the snow and take a swim
His energy endless, he never slows or gives in

Bipolar Bear is a free spirit, wild and untamed
His adventures endless, his spirit unchained
He's brave and bold, never afraid to explore
Every step a new journey, an experience to adore

And in the end, the truth is revealed
That Bipolar Bear is a figment, a tale we've sealed
For in your world, he does not exist
But in our hearts, he'll always persist.
