Poem: Being manic led me to all kinds of panic
Some hit me hard
Some lifted me in the sky
Then dropped me
Till I fell with a bouncing surprise
I couldn’t describe to anyone
What was going on in my head
Because what I felt
Became an intertwining entanglement of theories and events
That became an absorbing material
That was no longer visible to the eye.
Just emotion instead

Already confused? You're not the only one
Like the mind is being abused and refused
Then opens up like a flower
With colours that beautifully flow
To become a marble art fantasy.
That would come and go.

A fantasy of colours that blended beautifully
Whisking up the dullness
And beating up the badness
The mind that became a theory of no other kind
That was rare
Full of data and imagination
And then sometimes felt so empty and bare.
Something that you had to chase and find
Fighting what belonged to me
Was lingering somewhere up there...
