It's happened again, and now I know there may never be hope...

--

You know, being a manic depressive isn't easy

theres the tears and the loss

and the disappearance of hope

You know, being a manic depressive isn't easy

one day you're fine, the next you're ready to die...

no one believes, and nobody cares

You know, being a manic depressive isn't easy

you've tried help, but no one wants to hear you sobbing

your screams

You know, being a manic depressive isn't easy

slowly going insane

and not the good kind, if there is one

You know, being a manic depressive isn't easy

It's torture, you don't know it till you've had it

You're worthless. You pity yourself.

You know, being a manic depressive isn't easy

Whats wrong with you?

Other people aren't like this.

You know, being a manic depressive isn't easy

You're two people- one is happy and normal

the other is failing and falling and can't stop

You know, being a manic depressive isn't easy

I tried to tell someone...

sometimes even the people closest to you won't help

You know, being a manic depressive isn't easy

"Why don't you get out much?"

The nights are always the worst

You know, being a manic depressive isn't easy

You either thrive in the night, or die slowly...

tossing and turning, screaming, silently...

You know, being a manic depressive isn't easy

If you thought this was a humorous poem, thats a lie

If you think its a humorous game, you try it

If you think we're just exagerating our problems

then you tell me what it feels

to know nobody cares

and the two friends that do

can't help you

can't save you

from what you know will eventually come to its bitter end...

You think all we need is a counselor?

The school counselor said to me, "Maybe you need a counselor."

You think I haven't tried?

I have, and like always I'm failed...

You know, being a manic depressive isn't easy.
