See-saw.

sometimes i feel like I'm walking up a down staircase like the whole world is moving in one harmonious direction and I'm lost in a sea of roads antagonized by dead ends my head feels crazy bolts are unscrewed and wires are crossed a mechanical malfunction sometimes i am up up up up my skin tingles with activity dynamite in under the surface ready to be detonated vibrations circulate and cells dance with one another i am wild animalistic invincible sometimes i am down down down down darkened hope reigns a wave of black water runs around me in circles my lungs spill over with it and i suffocate my throat burns with sorrow suspended in pure agony as the waves laugh and swallow me i am devoured by ebony terrorized by my own thoughts body stuck in a tar of sadness i feel death smile down on my distortion he waits for the waves to finally drown me Some times i am red red red red anger is all there is it clouds my vision making my ember eyes glow fire runs through my blood feeding into my muscles pure rage envelops me in its choke hold and i lose control violence plays my core like a set of flaming drums furry has made a home in my chest covered in red, the anger waxes consuming me in a blood moon up down red up down red a see-saw in my head.
