Being mentally ill and dating Can be a catastrophe Even if you were meant to be My highs and lows The hot and colds I love hard and I love fast But when I get lost, Lost in my tornado mind It doesn’t last My actions won’t reflect my love It’s there, I promise I just make mistakes My medications don’t always work They need adjusting Suicidal at times But the next day I’m fine I emotionally drain those around me I sometimes use and abuse others I’m not trying to be malicious But my actions say otherwise It’s just when you're lost for so long It’s hard to feel human again It’s hard to feel at all
