Erin's politcs meets Erin's recovery :) oh boy


USA too
By: Erin 

Ok, so we all know I have bipolar type two
But I know someone else who does too…
USA I’m talking about you

Spending sprees are a classic symptom when someone is manic
It is not until after the fact that you really begin to panic

Angry spells sometimes impulsive and fast or long and drawn out
Look at our wars both internal and abroad this one is hard to doubt

Back an fourth; up and down this is how we play politics all the time
The party, the mood, the politician’s position can flip on a dime

Deep depression is a hallmark symptom of this disease
And the USA has always found this with ease

But don’t worry we’ve usually rebounded to a high
Where people drink, spend, dance, sing, work and buy buy buy

This is distressing for me and others that understand what this has to say
While I can take medicine I don’t think that is for the USA

So maybe it’s time we teach them some skills
Like emotional regulation with all of its frills

This might prevent wars
More spending sprees
Angry spells
And
Drastic changes please
It will help with the depression with is hard for each of us
Then there would be less reason to fuss
And for the high periods we go through
We must work together to remember our illness is true
