This writing is very special
To make you all aware
To teach you of a disease
Most people don't like to share
Bipolar is what I speak of
It's more common than you know
For most of us that have this
On the outside, It doesn't show
We're not all crazy
We are really alot like you
Just some of us have trouble
Controlling things we do
We keep ourselves in counseling
Medication is a must
The most important part of treatment
Is having friends we can trust
If you have a friend
Who suffers from this disease
Try to be more patient
Be understanding of their needs
One minute they may hate you
The next they may forget
They always manage to do things
They often will regret
Just please hold on
For it's a rollercoaster they ride
Always be a true friend
No matter what they decide

There are to many people that do not take the time to understand Bipolar Disorder. Some of us are more severe but it is a hard fight especially when friends and family don't take the time to understand the disease. It is a rollercoaster of emotions and at times they are hard to control and people don't understand that. For me it is a fight everyday just to handle what life throws at me.
