Bipolar and me part 3

Bipolar is knocking at the door
Now I'm scared, he knows exactly what for
They changed my meds, the shakes are real 
Now he's back to make a new deal

11 years taking those pills
11 years my mind stayed sealed
Every now and then he reared his head
But I cant let him in, he's not my friend 

We made a deal long ago
One I wish I didn't owe
We promised to live side by side
As long as he promised not to take my mind

But you see his side he did not keep
He stopped me being able to sleep 
He took away any chance of feeling happy
He took away me and that wasn't funny 

The new meds I'm on have lowered the sound
Meadows with faries are now jumping around
The pills are designed to keep him quiet 
But he's knocking at the door to cause a riot

Knock, knock, knock, he's still going 
"I know your there, your shadows showing" 
"Go away" I shout, "its not your time"
"I told you before,  my mind will never be yours to find"

He doesn't like the new medication 
It's effectively putting him into hibernation 
I'll take the new pills to keep him away
But we both know he's here to stay

I put my music on loud when he's vering me to the edge
"Put your head in the wall", is what he said
But not today my friend,  I will win
This battle we've had, should have been a sin

He makes me think I should open the door
Let him take it all, and leave what's left on the floor 
Music on loud, now that thought's come through 
Bipolar and me, forever its true

So here's the new deal we both have agreed 
He can still come and visit me
I cannot stop him, but I will always fight 
The battle will always be darkness or light

Iv asked you before don't take my mind
I will always make it hard for you to find
Bipolar and me forever in vow
Bipolar and me will have to make it somehow 

The knocking has stopped,  he's walking away
But he'll probably be back later today 
Bipolar and me was meant to be
Bipolar and me, its the new battle..part three

Will it be him, or will it be me?

ThkU for sharing, Gogster. So many do not want to talk about this challenging visitor. Definitely not an easy friend to live with. Your humour, endurance & courage in dealing with him is admirable. Keep writing as he normally stays away when the Creative Mind kicks in. Stay strong & have a beautiful Christmas season. X.
