You'll want mom to celebrate,  But she'll be too tired. You'll learn new things Things no nine year old should know.  Depression Why mom isn’t really mom anymore Prozac The medication that is supposed to make mom herself again Bipolar disorder Why mom is okay in the morning and gone by lunch Zoloft The medication that is supposed to make mom herself again Some chemical cocktail It makes mom no longer mom You'll worry everyday That there's some ticking time bomb in your head A countdown to the crazy 3..... 2..... 1......
