PERFECTLY BIPOLAR

I live in a wonderful state of grace
You can tell by the look I wear on my face
I am quite spectacular as a teenager's mom
and a wife and soulmate to her dad,Tom.

I've bipolar disorder, the type NO 1.
The highs and the lows they aren't any fun.
To change your mood like your socks is a drag
But another thing goes along with this bag.

I can't explain the manner in which I excel.
There's nothing I can't do and always well.
From intellect and education I must be best.
Most creative and articulate of all the rest.


But this drive is sure to kill me some day.
Perfectionism is no standard to have to obey.
It's part of my disorder; a brain run amuck.
I appear oh so fit; but I'm just bipolar-struck!

SURVIVAL

How can we survive in this world?
It is full of lies and trickery.
Everywhere you look you choke
on some obnoxious bribery.

The "dollar" you say is at the root.
I say that you have seen it wrong.
What they want is to have power
the politics, to be "the strong."

So, proceed always with honesty and care.
Enjoy the vitality of life--the spirit of love.
Take a nature walk, and enjoy your friends.
And do not bargain with the Man above.

P.S. Never make decisions in a hurry

Leave business for a skilled attorney.
