Spiraling in the manic darkness
Will anyone throw a lifeline?
Engulfed by firey depression
Will anyone put the flames out?
I feel the heat
but cannot find the light
I feel the chill
but cannot keep out the wind
I feel the fear
but cannot run
I feel the tears
but cannot cry
It is cold to the bone
my bones ache
It is horrible noisy
but no one is saying a word
I reach for the lifeline
that no one will throw
I reach out from the dark,
engulfing, firey manic depression
