Hi I'm Bipolar Disorder. I'm just another thing to separate you from the norm. But if you take enough pills no one else will really notice that I'm here. It'll be our little secret. Don't get me wrong though I'll still be here eating at the back of your brain. I'm part of you. Permanently. Think of me as your new best friend.

Hi I'm Bipolar Disorder. Remember last week when you decided to text your crush out of nowhere. Or when you thought it would be a fun idea to take a walk in the pouring rain? That was me. You knew it was a stupid choice and that you might get sick or rejected, but I was at the wheel. You are just a car. A mindless machine. You have no real power over me. No matter how hard you try. Or how right you are. How's the cold? Or the feeling when he reads the text but doesn't care enough to respond? A feeling you know all too well.

Hi I'm Bipolar Disorder. How are you feeling? Blue? Depressed? Good. You had your turn being the life of the party. The person everyone was drawn to. But now it's time to come down from that high. Now is the time for regretting getting up in the morning and isolating yourself. The time for questioning if your life has any meaning and making sure that you finish all of your homework. It would be awful to skip it, but a relief. I'm not trying to give you any ideas, but it might be worth a shot. Right?

Hi I'm Bipolar Disorder. I hope you didn't miss me when I was gone. I also hope you enjoyed your couple weeks of being in complete control, but I'm back now. I can take it from here. Now let's see should you be high or low. High or low. High or low. There's no middle ground with me in charge. It has to be the extremes. I don't mean to hurt you it just the price of the job.

Hi I'm Bipolar Disorder. You might've forgotten me with all those pills in your system. The side effects got to you, didn't they. It doesn't really matter to me. I'm just glad to be back. I don't know what you did without me.

Hi I'm Bipolar Disorder. I'm the one who's in charge here, and there is nothing you can do about that.

Hi I'm Bipolar Disorder. Your very best friend.

A/N This one is a little bit longer, but that is because it's a slam poem I wrote and thought I'd share.
