bi polar

[junglequeen]

the depression
the despair
the darkness
has come over me like a blanket
warm and dim
stuffy and thick
and all i can do is laugh
as if its almost noon on April fools

laugh
with feverish intensity
voice cackling with perverse glory
struggling to trick them into thinking they havent got me

but they have

* * *

i live still
breath drawn, hands clenched
willing myself to move
to throw the blanket from my face and scream
but i cant
its as though all the Lilliputians have tied me down
holding me captive with their little ropes

captive in a time where each day seems the same
just lying here praying for the blanket to be lifted
or at least for one more to fall and fully smother me

Im on hold, listening to elevator music

and suddenly im connected
the sky has cleared and my heart is free again
just like that the ink spot has disappeared leaving nothing
not even blue smudge to remember it by
and life continues as if i never left
