The Two Of Us:

My heart says I'll be just fine
But my brain says otherwise,
The more I get to know you
The more and more I agonize.

When we first met I was unsure
If I could handle a relationship,
For all my life it was just me
I wasn't use to companionship.

But as we hung out that summer
And I got to know you better,
I knew I couldn't live without you
And that we'd always be together.

As the years slowly passed us by
We did our best to make it work,
But our life together wasn't easy
Time to time we both were jerks.

But we both learned to live with it
Because after all we were close,
So we both did the best we could
Not to step on each other's toes.

I'd dry your eyes and you mine
When things got hard for both of us,
For it was during our highs and lows
That the two of us learned to adjust.

As our years together got tougher
We both fell further and further apart,
Until the point we hated each other
And we both needed a new start.

I tried to block you from my mind
But you know me I just couldn't,
For you completely make me whole
And for that reason alone I wouldn't.

Later that week we made a decision
That we both needed a little aid,
So I made us both an appointment
Got down on my knees and prayed.

And this was what I prayed......

Oh Lord you know I'm broken
I'm not the man I use to be,
I'm no longer finding pleasure
Since this bi-polar came to me.

So oh Lord would you please
Reconnect my mind body and soul,
And fill me with your wisdom
To keep my bi-polar under control.

Now my heart says I'll be fine
And my brain agrees with it too,
For once I learned to live with myself
The more and more I'm not so blue.

(A Tribute To Myself)
I've been battling bi-polar manic depression for 30 years and I'm so proud how far I've come.
