An illness for two!

This is the story of a very strong guy!
Who thinks he's superman, when he's high,
He's not high on life or a drug obsession,
He suffers from an illness, formerly known as manic depression,
He battles this demon day after day,
A God awful disease that won't go away,
It's mostly in winter when the craziness begins,
He gets totally out of control, and does silly things,
The high then withers, slowly but surely,
Yet he doesn't get better, he's still very poorly 
I wish he would realise hes a very strong man,
And stop saying he can't, cos we all know he can,
After the mania, his mood drops very low!
Its up, then its down like a yoyo,
He spends day after day, lying in bed,
His mind digesting all the things he's done and said,
I'm here to help pick up the pieces he's on a crazy ride,
Ill Always be here to reasure him, standing by his side,
I'm affected by his mood swings, his high and low mood,
I put up with his nastiness, yet still cook his food,
I know he can't help it, he battles every day, 
With support and medication, we can manage this, keep it at bay!
A brilliant mind, who can be funny sweet and kind,
A crazy cocky physco who I'd rather not know,
A man with no confidence, who has no will to want to keep on living,
A clever man, who is confident genuine and giving,
It's up then its down, there's a laugh, there's a frown,
Let's get you stable, I long to see your smile, 
We both know pippi, it's been gone for a while,
Your mood will soon lift, and you will get back on form,
Then we can only try our best to keep you the norm,
