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 have trouble
Contolling 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
