Manic Depression

Manic Depression is all she can say,
              Manic Depression her moods swing
              that way.
              One minute shes up, one minute shes down
              riding her manic merry-go-round.

              So, if she doesn't answer her front door or,
              her phone it only means please leave her alone
              and, do not take it personally these manic phases 
              that you see.

              It's a chemical imbalance inside her brain that makes
              her act a little insane and, the medication for her head
              makes her feel a little dead.

              So she does not take it everyday in hopes that her mania
              will go away this  is why shes up, shes down, riding her manic
              merry-go-round.

              Now, let her beat to her own drum, shes not hurting anyone
              shes just trying to figure out what her manic depression is
              all about.
