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.
