It makes me feel like there is no one better than me
Then at the drop of a dime it can bring me to my knees
No one ever knows how I’ll respond to what they say
Because my personality is different every single day
I gotta take horse pills that choke me up to make me forget about being blue
And the frequent trips to the doctor don’t help- she seems to have no clue
I refuse to self medicate to avoid the sadness that I’d feel
But sometimes I’d like to end it all because sometimes it’s too hard to deal
I was told to keep a journal so I could learn the signs before it comes
But it seems that at those moments I don’t want to write- and all I feel is numb
Michele! What’s wrong? Are you mad at me? Did I hurt you in some sort of way?
Oh shit! Watch out! Michele’s upset! Who pissed her off today?
I’ll continue to deal with the ups and downs and I’ll try to stay in-between
The mania and depression – being sad and being mean
Understand that you did nothing wrong- it’s an imbalance in my brain
I don’t mean to hurt you, friend or cause you any pain
If I yell ignore my harshness and if I cry just give me your shoulder
I’m not a crazy psycho bitch, I swear- I just have Bi-polar disorder.
Your poems is great! I am bipolar myself and I go through this shit everyday. Check out my work!

I love this poem, I can relate. I know how you feel, bipolar disorder is not an easy thing to deal with and most people just don't understand.
I can relate this poem hit me i have being told that i have symptoms of it so i can relate. TERESA RIFE
I deffinately understand this. It's very VERY hard to have Manic Depressive/Bi-polar Disorder. All your actions are judged as if they were 'normal' overreactions and not because of a disease or disorder and no one understands you. I'ts so hard to get to know you, and so hard to get to know yourself.
