Mental Health Upgrade

Mental Health Upgrade I can’t get up it hurts my back My knees go out I start to weep I can’t stay awake I can’t go to sleep I’ve done what I can, so now I count sheep I stay home all day I’m alone and lost So this is my life but at what cost? My circuits are crossed Mental Health is up for grabs I am bipolar and it plays tricks Sometime I fly more times I fall So this is my life I don’t want to play any more I take my meds as I should Sometimes they work, sometimes no more Then I spiral, down down down To dwell in my hell No one notices. No one to tell Don’t remember today But remember the past My apartment is not a house Nor is it a home So I am alone so alone I’m going shopping at the bipolar store I need something but it is not there

Very sad Pat. Guess uncertainty is the only certainty in life.

Yes it is. Living with bipolar disorder is indeed a challenge. I have learned to face it and embrace it. :)
