The Van Gogh Complex - bipolar artist's colony
 
Leah Brandt
 
Manic Depressive 
 
My soul is scared of her shadow 
My mind is losing control
My weakness is making her stronger
Her heart is about to Explode
 
I hate her with my life cause she lives each day and does not die
I love her with my death cause shes getting closer to her rest
 
 
 
She is the part of me that I
try and hide 
But when our emotions start to collide
it's like two virgins with guns and knives 
I try and stay sane but I'm not sober inside
 
 
 
Manic Depressive
She is my best friend
Manic Depressive 
My life is your circus tent
and the chemicals they clash
my body seems to crash 
when the chemicals go down 
Will you be around?
