Screaming and banging inside my brain.
Black noise that no one else can hear.
Showering and wishing I'd wash down the drain.
Dreams of nothing but to disappear.
Life, not what it appears to be,
overwhelming my strained little mind.
I smile for all the world to see,
but for all I see, the world is blind.
Depression and sadness my soul fill,
Most times, no rhyme nor reason make.
Legs dangling, sitting on a window sill Praying someone my soul to take.
Wanting and yearning for nothing more
than to crawl into my mind and hide.
Sad and depressed deep to the core,
fighting my way out of it's tide.
Now happy once more, smiling eyes
Find joyous world surrounding me.
No trips, no falls, no one dies.
Manic mind, soul filled with glee.
Bright sunshine fills my life
even on the rainiest of days.
World, no longer grief and strife.
No more exists the deep dark haze.
All is calm, beauty galore.
No cares, floating on a cloud.
Ecstasy reigns, desiring only more.
Loving the feeling, laughing out loud.
Now quiet comes, all too soon.
The world slows down a bit I find.
Sunshine gone, now glows the moon.
Rolls over the cycle, my manic mind.
