At a recent family gathering Friends and family ask cheerfully How are you feeling today? Not too bad…my mouth says I put a smile on my face As I simply walk away They don’t know I didn’t sleep last night As well as the four nights before When I am manic I can’t sleep at night When depressed I sleep all day I live in a bipolar bubble of life Too high then so low Takes a toll on me Don’t know which way I will go I don’t always get my way I suffer thru another day This is bipolar my life every day If I told them just a part of what goes on They would be startled by my reply They can’t process the pain I am in I’m crying in the hall way Someone walks by Wanting to comfort me Don’t cry it will get better... I’m not crying I say Those are not tears you see It’s my brain fluid leaking out of my eyes What more could I say?
