Bi-Polar Disorder

Poetic Princess

It makes me feel like there is no one better than me

Then at the drop of a dime it can bring me to my knees

No one ever knows how I’ll respond to what they say

Because my personality is different every single day

I gotta take horse pills that choke me up to make me forget about being blue

And the frequent trips to the doctor don’t help- she seems to have no clue

I refuse to self medicate to avoid the sadness that I’d feel

But sometimes I’d like to end it all because sometimes it’s too hard to deal

I was told to keep a journal so I could learn the signs before it comes

But it seems that at those moments I don’t want to write- and all I feel is numb

Michele! What’s wrong? Are you mad at me? Did I hurt you in some sort of way?

Oh shit! Watch out! Michele’s upset! Who pissed her off today?

I’ll continue to deal with the ups and downs and I’ll try to stay in-between

The mania and depression – being sad and being mean

Understand that you did nothing wrong- it’s an imbalance in my brain

I don’t mean to hurt you, friend or cause you any pain

If I yell ignore my harshness and if I cry just give me your shoulder

I’m not a crazy psycho bitch, I swear- I just have Bi-polar disorder.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Being diagnosed with bi-polar disorder has caused me to lose my personality- I am trying my hardest to get it back...

I deffinately understand this. It's very VERY hard to have Manic Depressive/Bi-polar Disorder. All your actions are judged as if they were 'normal' overreactions and not because of a disease or disorder and no one understands you. I'ts so hard to get to know you, and so hard to get to know yourself.
