Pulsations of mania
All consuming
Magnifying creativity
Feeding psychic confusion
Time collapses
The present is the fulcrum
Sequestered trauma explodes
Epic emotional overload
I remember lost friendships
Feeling visceral pain
Flooded by resentment
This inferno in my brain
We need love in these moments
We need deep connection
Holding space to heal
Inspiring emotional resurrection
This dimension of mania
So rarely understood
My tornado of chaos
Craving love in my blood
Mania the ultimate high
Euphoria and ecstasy
But lodged deep within
A volcano of psychic grief
