Mental health

A problem that worries so deeply
How to help those who suffer each day
With an illness they name bi-polar
It's a battle of the mind they say.

It takes roughly a month on a cycle
To go up and down, in through the mind
Very hard to control or to balance
Every person who suffers this sign.

Each week they appear to be different
A new personality is seen.
One week the shy caring person
The next the promiscuous friend.

It seems to be different people
Occupying the one body to be
Everything it can do in one lifetime
But all together each month it's a play.

It goes up in the mind and does wonders
very creative and ready to please.
Then the down side so sad for each person
drink or drugs, so depressing they say.

Their psychology, too hard to work out
Just give pills, and send them away
To work through their cycle of living
And hope it comes right then some day.
