I have this thing..
It's called bipolar disorder
Okay, okay, go ahead and make stupid jokes now.
Yeah let me tell you something
I'm different
You're different
We are all different
I get mad, I get upset, I get happy, and I get confused
But doesn't everyone?
Life is hard enough, now you are adding a label to mine.
You are packing me and all my emotions up into a tiny bottle of prescription pills
The only other pills I've taken, haven't been prescribed.
Am I not allowed to express myself? Be me? Show my emotions?
No. Everyone thinks I'm having a manic episode.
How come?
The label.
That label on my body doesn't say "Bipolar Disorder"
It says "Crazy"
