Andy DW Poet Rhyme

Bipolar and you

I see you not the title
Not what you need when life is survival
You are you and that is that
A separate entity that you combat

This shadow follows you everywhere 
Something that is not nice or fair
Your daily battle is to keep them a shadow
And not let the play your brains piano

I have to accept this is for life
In good times and in strife 
There is always a third wheel
That will be conceal 

This figure keeps you up at night
When you feel most vulnerable despite 
The drugs you take to keep him away
And not portray you another way

He is always at arms length 
Whispering in your ear with each breath 
Your body and soul fights him
To keep your lights from going dim

He dictates how your day goes
But never appears to impose
His mood affects your own
He is unwelcome company so your not alone

When he wins a daily joust
You don’t scream or shout 
As tomorrow is a new day
Where he won’t put you on display

I understand you and your unfriend 
I am here to attend and defend
Against the shadow that follows you
I’m not one to join a queue 

I see your emotional struggles
This life is not full of fairies and bubbles
Day to day life is a grind
This bipolar needs to be co-signed 

If I could take the pressure off
Not just as a one off
But forever to make your life better
I would take away that pressure
