bipolar
the controller
the cape
that wraps tighter
and tighter
until i can't breathe
go away i say
never it says
i'll never leave it says
so i take the pills
but they only help for so long
driving me mad
making me sad
they say mind of matter
but it only makes me sadder
knowing my mind is messed up
are you okay they ask
i'm fine i say
but as i slowly go crazy
things become hazy
as tears stream down my face
give me some space i say
they crowd me instead
i can't breathe i say
leave me alone i say
you'll be okay they say
i'll never be okay i respond
bipolar
the controller
like a cape
wrapping tighter and tighter
