You took my identity

One moment we are very happy

The next moment we are extremely sad

Just when I look back you have been in my life for longer than I could imagine

You hid so deep that no one would see you

Bipolar to me you are a stranger

To my brain you are a friend , well acquainted.

To the world you are mood swings

To me you are a void that can never be filled

I tried food to fill you, I failed

I tried alcohol to fill you , I failed

You are keeping your existence a deep secret

Finally you were discovered and medicated

Everyday I search anxiously for you

Everyday I search all over for you

I take my medication, the void remains

You don’t own my existence , however.

You are but a small piece of my beautiful, unique puzzle.

Bipolar you are very secretive

You hid from me for so long

Bipolar you don’t own my existence, however.

I fight you daily and I feel like I will win this fight

Bipolar I will leave you in peace and harmony

We are together in this fight for freedom

You will not shatter my dreams

You will help me achieve them instead
