Why won’t you just go away? / by Andrew Diaz

Why won't you just go away?

Why won't you just go away?

Why do you get in my head

Why are you always in the way?

Are you suffering too?

Is that why you are here?

To remind me that I can

Continue

Repeat

I have to fight this off

Each time

Victory

Defeat

Repeat each day with a smile

Some conversation with my coworkers

So they don't question

This sadness

Make fun

Let's joke

As I turn

And walk away

I'm in pain

I cry

I hurt

Eight hours of confusion

This pain

Fight

Delusion

Every day

Heart ache

Bipolar

Depression

A never ending life lesson

For everything anyone has ever done

To support me

To show me

To go on

Plz know I appreciate

All the support

That I won't ever give up

To show respect

And to say thanks

But sometimes

I just want

To

Fade

Away

So to this sadness in my head

To all this pain

To all this dread

I tell this to you

And I ask this question

BIPOLAR disorder

Let me reorder

And set my life

My way

My question

Why?

Why won't you just go away?
