Bipolar and Me Part 2

A week ago, I was the normal me Happy, funny and living free. Shaked the box and it was empty, This then sent me into a world of frenzy First the agitation began Couldn’t decide whether to sit or stand. My mask still on smiling and proud No one could find out I was going down….. Down the nasty spiral I hate I suppose Bipolar really is my fate. I only missed a pill or two Now “my friend” is coming through. The one that takes away all that is me Like a leech, I can’t get free. Sleeping becomes a thing of the past Eating…well only if I must Concentration, what’s that again? Come on now I won’t let you win 6 days without my magic pills And now my life is rolling down the hill But you see bipolar I know your game You make me happy so I think I’m sane. But it’s really you all along I know But with these pills you won’t get through. And Maybe I will never be, The girl I always used to be, But bipolar I’m afraid to say Your little games are just child’s play I am sound in body and in mind. I told you before; my mind you will never find. But when you get through like you do Here’s a few things I have to say to you: Stop me sleeping if you must And with not eating a few pounds I’ve lost I do enjoy when I’m happy But then I know I’m going to feel crappy But what really scares me the most Is when you turn me into this ghost The one who struggles just to breath The one who has now taken over me I’ll do you a deal what do you say? One that says we can both play I’ll take the pills to keep you at bay As long as you now go away. Do your thing, but keep it maintained Please oh please just let me stay sane Come visit once in a while if you must But please don’t turn me into dust I know we have a deal for life You and I like husband and wife But with every relationship Compromise must be made………. You can stay rent free in my head As long as you’re so quiet it’s like you’re dead I know sometimes you’ll make me sad But please Bipolar….don’t let me go MAD.
