Bipolar Baby

 

baby's got bloodshot eyes
maybe baby's been getting a little too high
on mania
because depression
makes you too rested
baby needs some mania
to wear baby out
until baby makes that little
pouty face

you love so much
you love so much
enough to beat baby up

baby looks tired
baby wants to retire
the quiet wild quiet life
baby wants to try to care
about what you say
but baby just sighs and says
"uh-huh"

baby's got bruised bloodshot eyes
because baby didn't try to care
about what you said
baby doesn't even try
to cover up her bruises
because to baby

bruises=love

baby loves you
baby wants to trust you
baby loves you
baby just wants to
you-know-what you
baby ran into the wall today
thats what baby will say

baby went away today
somewhere far away

baby's got rolled back eyes
baby got a little too low
on depression

I love how it talks about the two different mental states at the beginning and the end of the poem - it's brilliant. Your writing continues to amaze me.

I don't think i have ever read anything about bi-polar presented like that before. It's an interesting take. I could see how it unfolds with in your lines though, and it does make sense. Perhaps some day they will come up with a sure fire way to rid the world of that brain-chemical imbalance that causes the affliction. that doesn't have any bad side effects. Good work!
