I hate you but I am not the one who created you,

You will follow me around whereever I go,

I see you in the shadows and in the light,

You are the very reason I cry myself to sleep at night,

I take my medicine but you still appear,

You cause my mood swings and my tears,

It's hard to make friends because of you,

I feel on top of the world,

I feel like I want to crawl in a hole,

You are the reason I want to die,

Even though I wish I never met you,

You taught me how to be me,

You made me ambitious and optimistic,

I'm less judgemental and more understanding,

You are bipolar disorder and you are in my brain,

You are a monster but you are also the light of day.
