The Day after Mania

my energy bubble has popped.
yesterday i couldn't be stopped.
today every happy thought i had got its knee caps whacked.
my sleep brought shifting dreams that were jacked.
i cannot escape the dark side of me.

my hyper balloon has deflated.
my joyous mood got concatenated.
my ipod is back to songs that are mellow.
the voices in my head are back in tune with the cello.
i cannot swim against the sad rip tide.

my optimistic glasses got sat on and broken.
too many words got spoken.
i asked for honesty.
now i feel like a travesty.
i am harboring my own criminal.

my whirling dervish has collapsed.
i've had a depressive relapse.
there are many people now dazed and confused.
they are no longer amused.
i've split myself in two!

my speeding mind has crashed.
the manic feelings have ben stashed.
i do enjoy my up days,
but when they pass i pay!
the cycle has bested my control again.

So Goes the TV

aw man what a day!
i was confused.
i was sad.
i was anxious.
i was well fed.

i was loud.
i was hyper.
i was bitchy.
i was gassy

nothing escaped me.
my mind fled the scene.
i was pure emotion.
rolling, just rolling on my hormonal waves.

so my kid has the tv on
and it amuses me,
but if she leaves,
so goes the TV!!!
