Taking pills each day to keep me alive
Makes me feel like I'll never quite thrive
Meds feel like you're changing yourself
But it's the only solution to my mental health
I wish I didn't have to always recall
To take medication, or else I will fall
Popping pills just feels so unnatural
But without them I'll die, that is factual
The fact I'll need them the rest of my life
Is a scary concept, the concerns are rife
This is the new norm, I understand
That these meds give me a helping hand
A day without and I turn quite insane
It's mad what the chemicals do in your brain
Got told off by my therapist for missing a dose
Can't get to the pharmacy, despite being close
Sometimes self-sabotage is the reason
I skip medication, no matter the season
All year round I'm so inconsistent
But my therapist is really quite persistent
That this is the only bipolar solution
So I'll try my best, could be the resolution
To tackling the ups and tackling the downs
Keeping away the mania and frowns
People think taking meds is quite easy
But with ADHD, it's far from easy peasy
I'm forgetful as hell with life's simple tasks
How do neurotypicals do it, it's such a big ask
I know before long it'll just be a habit
Wake up in the morning and just go and grab it
Take medication without even thinking
'Cause if I keep messing up, I'll only go sinking
So I pledge to myself, from here and hereon
I'll take medication and remember this song
Even when paralysed, lying in bed
I'll get them sent to my house instead
