Sometimes I just lay in my bed, <br />normally the crappy parts of my life just roll <br />around in this over-used mind, all thru-out my head, <br />knowing I should be thinking of the much more happier <br />times instead. <br /> <br />In my head, <br />I make an effort to take the negative <br />to make a positive change, sweep out the cobb webs, <br />take this, take that, you know just trying <br />to rearrange? <br /> <br />That is all very easy <br />to say, <br />having Bipolar Disorder, <br />I'm not that fortunate, not that lucky, <br />it doesn't always happen this way, <br />it's like my brain short circuits, <br />oh you can trust me when I say, <br />that it is a freggin' constant fray, <br />for the truth is I fight nasty demons <br />in my head each and every single day. <br /> <br />The Lithium does it's part, <br />it's my determination, strong-will, and special heart, <br />that enables me to keep those demons <br />far few and apart. <br /> <br />YO Linda, <br />there is far more talent up there <br />in that head, <br />now stop the whinning, brush it off, <br />and get outta that stupid bed! <br /> <br />POET'S NOTE: <br />It takes a very STRONG mind <br />to deal day in, and day out with Bipolar Disorder, <br />I've struggled, and have been dealing with it since <br />I was 13 years old. <br />Trust me when I state.... it's not easy, <br />the KEY factor is: <br />you gotta wanna be stable, <br />wanna be strong, and live a life. <br />Then again, <br />Just look at this world we ALL hafta deal with, <br />am I right?<br /><br />Linda I.
