Holding Out For Hope
Holding Out For Hope
How did this happen?
What did I do?
I try to control it
I try not to believe it
It happens so fast
Not much I can do
Manic...x...two
I scream and I cry
Oh no not again
I know the symptoms
But it creeps up to fool me
Tried distracting it
Tried to watch TV
Walk around and around and
Around the room
Manic, manic, manic
Top of the room feeling manic
Whoopee Bipolar is here again
Hoping my feet touch the ground
It follows me
My brain...is not sound
It beckons me still
Again and again
I take the good and the bad
Trying to cope
Holding out for hope
