Bipolar’s Terrible Ecstasy
Today is the day,
I feel up and tall,
Today is the day,
I'm breaking down this wall .
I'm ready,
I hunger,
The enterprise is here,
But then I feel this urging fear.
Step back, Too precarious,
Keep it gregarious.
Silent black walls enclose me even more,
I push and I pull,
I feel tight in my core .
Maybe it's not the day,
I'll step back again,
Close my eyes,
It's all pretend.
I wake up the next day,
Everything seems okay,
I'm back and I'm happy,
And it's not just for say.
Feeling unflagging and assiduous,
I get my whole checklist done,
I'm nothing but blithe,
Complete and utter fun.
Once the moon hits, I feel a seize to my day,
My mind starts to wander,
I am not okay.
Back and forth,
I'm my own worst enemy,
But then here comes a swishing swing,
A natural ecstasy
Today is the day,
Actually no it's not,
I can't even decide which thought is my own thought.
