Ups and Downs

First things are up,
then things are down.
At first I am smiling,
which changes to frown.

At this moment I'm laughing,
and nothing seems wrong.
And then I am crying,
and do not belong.

My head keeps on spinning,
from these rapid mood changes.
Is this forever,
or are these just phases?

I'm usually happy,
and it lasts quite a while.
But then one small thing,
can ruin my smile.

The person I love,
keeps me going all day.
At night it's my parents,
who take it away.

I just need some balance,
to make sure i'm sane.
To make sure i'm fine,
and that i'm okay.

First things are up,
then things are down.
At first I am smiling,
which changes to frown.
