MY FAMILY AND I
My sister and I both have mental health issues, with mine being bipolar/manic depression. Bipolar is now accepted as being dependent on environment but also having a strong genetic element. These poems are a small glimpse into my thoughts about my family history of mental illness and how that legacy has been passed onto my sister and me.
