The world goes by around her
she knows that she is there,
all her life she's wondered
why fate is so unfair.

She knows that she is different
the evidence is clear,
it shows in vacant eyes
pure uncontrolled fear.

Emotions pour unhindered
by boundaries and rules,
disinhibited behaviour
scorned upon by fools.

A mess of chemical reactions
inside an aching brain,
set her pace of life
time after time again.

When broken heart depression
lays upon her soul,
to raise a head from weary bed
becomes her only goal.

When mania is her ally
she never stops to rest,
to put the world to rights
her single minded quest.

The world goes by around her
she knows that she is there,
all her life she's wondered
why fate is so unfair.
