that lives inside my head
and when he feels like emerging,
I do whatever he says

There is no scheduled pattern
No assessment, tasks or deeds
and when he shows his true colors,
nothing can fulfill his needs

His needs are very complex,
entailing endless bouts of pain
Even when you think “it’s over”
you still never feel completely sane

He’ll run you through the ringer
He’ll rake you through the coals
He’ll take away all dignity,
leaving you defenseless, baring little soul

He hurts your loved ones most of all
Causing much suffering and pain
But once again, what else is new,
Dealing with a person who’s utterly insane

yeah I can relate to this I am bipolar as well.
A really good poem that tells what one goes
through when they are suffering from the
bipolar disorder. I haven't had an attack in a
few months and I pray that you will be healed
from this terrible disease. Stay strong.
