I'm a knock off brand of bipolar. Prescribed with a mood stabilizer. I shouldn't have to take pills to be normal. Pills shouldn't be mixed with pills. Side affects become the problem. I'm a dammed race horse, spooked on a track when I see a stray piece of my own hair. The walls and floor move because of my past addictions. I can make myself sweat by only thinking it's too hot. Protecting strangers just to protect. I could take pills for that, but I'm sitting right here with my side affects. Medication gives different perceptions. Different life's to live, I'll just keep taking my dosage because I will not start over again.
