Body buzzing
Head rushing
Lungs on the near brink,
Of explosion
And heart implosion

My hands are shaking
My feet tapping
And trembling

The blood
Within me
Is pumping profoundly
Through my veins
Vehemently twisting
Connecting
Intertwining

My mania is astounding
It is stronger than I
And I have no control
Over my own thoughts
Or actions

I am a robot
Surging with energy
Mad as a hatter
A woman crazed
And on the edge of life

With my one last chance
At survival
And self-preservation
I sit
I become present
I am here
And this one breath
Can keep me safe
Can bring me back
And can carry me home
