These highs like cocaine 
I reject emotional pain
My brain got that fix 
Appearance flaunted in vain
Reckless impulsivity 
Believing myself a higher being 
Careless of my words 
Leaving wounds of hurt feelings 
A vacuum for human energy 
Festering hysterical power
Overwhelming irritability 
My paranoia grows louder 
Delusions fill my head 
As this world slows around me
Voices deranged 
With evil surrounding
Scrambling for an escape 
Putting pen to paper 
Releasing this shame 
Freeing my emotional labor 
Craving closure
This feeling outdated 
As my brain starts to crash 
And my manic high has faded
