THE BI-POLAR BLUES

[TEAH35]

My head's not feeling right today

And I don't understand why it is that I feel this way

My thoughts will switch from one to another,

I feel as though I'm about to smother

Some people say that I am strong

but in reality they could not be more wrong

The outer me puts on a smile

While the inner me has been dying, slowly dying for a long long while

I hate this part of having the BP disease

Coz it can ever so quickly bring one to their knees

You switch from one mood that's considered to be great

To one that is as nasty as hell

And as for knowing which one I'll be

There is simply just no way to tell

Most days I can push on through

But today can't, I simply don't know what to do

It comes with no trigger

But it won't go away

As the one thing I'm sure of

It's going to get bigger and bigger

Bigger and louder and so so strong

If only I could figure out

When I did it, and where I did it

That made it all go so wrong

The meds I take to help me manage

Are the very same meds that do the damage

Sometimes I feel like I'm flying high

On the fluffiest cloud, way up in the sky, where there is peace and quiet, and not a sound

And just like a finger-snap, it happens ..... and BAM, before I know it, I'm crashing down hard, way way down onto the ground.
