I bought you last year in the Christmas sales
your bright red sticker read 'reduced to clear'
I picked you up and checked, not old or stale,
a bargain- yes! Or so it did appear
at first but treasures real never do come cheap
and you've since cost me months of thinking clear,
weeks and weeks of solid restful sleep.
Bipolar flits from fear to joy to fear
are what I bear and still I don't despise
my purchase - No! I send you Christmas cheer.
A costly gift may soon be put aside
and that bought cheap can end up truly dear.
