Observations on Bipolar Disorder

My Many Colored Days December 1, 2007

Dr. Seuss would like this song . . .

I just wonder which color he would choose to do his writing on.

 

Some days are yellow

Some are blue

On different days

I’m differnet too

You’d be surprised how many ways

I change on different colored days.

On bright red days how good it feels

to be a horse and kick my heels!

On other days I’m other things

On bright blue days I flap my wings

Some days, of course, feel sort of brown

Then I feel slow and low, low down

Then comes a yellow day and weeeeeee I’m as busy, buzzy bee

Gray day . . . Everything is gray

I watch

But nothing moves today.

Then all of a sudden I’m a circus seal!

On my orange days that’s how I feel

Green days, deep deep in the sea

Cool and quiet fish. That’s me.

On purple days I’m sad. I groan.  I drag my tail.  I walk alone.

But when my days are happy pink

It’s great to jump and just not think.

 Then come my black days mad and loud

I howl.  I growl at every cloud

Then comes a mixed-up day and wham!

I don’t know who or what I am!

But it all turns out all right, you see

And I go back to being . . .

me
