I never used to like me I thought that I was bad
until the Doctor told me I wasnt bad, just mad!
Cold comfort in his words is that supposed to ease
the pain and guilt and horror that all bipolars feel?
At last I understand the mess that is my head
a chemically imbalanced illness to fill a heart with dread.
So from me to me I write this it isnt just for you
but to every person out there this message still rings true.
Youve got to learn to love yourself to give your self a break
to try and start each fresh new day a smile upon your face.
For only then with head held high and sprightly spring of step
will life embrace life lovers with her warm sweet living breath.
