MANIC DEMONS

 

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This feeling outdated 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
