Bi-Polar

My life has been like a yo-yo
extreme ups and downs
one minute I’ve felt on top of the world
other times I don’t want to be around
I formed this strange depression
after all the battles in my life
just trying to keep happy
each time I went under the knife
now my heads bit funny,
It goes off balance all the time
one minute I can be crying
the next I could be fine
I don’t like having what I have
but I’m not angry with this thing
for I am still happy in my sadness
because I like what life can bring
so i will stick out my problem
although many of us quit
I just don't want to look back
and say s..t was that life it
although my life’s a battle
its also been good too
I have great friends and family
and a supporting lady i love right through
i think we have to step back
appreciate the special things in this place
so I will continue down my path
with this true smile on my face

About this poem:
Many people you wouldn't know suffer from this problem,
It can be brought on by many different ways, mine through battles
of operations i've fought in my life,
it can get dangerous to oneself if not treated so just take care
of yourselves!

Thankyou for your kind words and taking the timebanana
I had a really bad day with it yesterday, really knocked me
but i'm feeling a little better today and was just thinking of who was kind yesterday with their support, so I wrote this
I feel for who suffers this, so many do, my lady does
so we support eachother and know excatly what to say
because we know how its like, I'm, still a bit down but
there is a little piece inside that stays happy knowing I
have help when I need it, Ive had Bi-polar for about 10
years now, a lot of grey times but its something that I
live with and I'm glad you took the time to share and care
with your commentswave

Thankyou, I didn't expect to get responces like this
and it saddens me to see so many with this, I was really
just trying to vent my feelings when I wrote this
and thought after I had put it to paper that I thought
to post it, Thankyou again, You are all my friends here!
