Deep dark depression Plus the wisdom of the Greats Multiplied by numbed emotions Watching as a soul deteriorates. She seems happy some days Very high highs, very low lows Hours in between But she shines like the sun's glow. No concentration in her reality Trapped, preoccupied by this fallacy Of labels thrown at her face So called "mental illness" She thinks she's a disgrace! Breathing space No need to agitate She lost her ace Her loud cries muffled by the rain. All her talents play hide and seek She can barely comprehend the words you speak. She has lost all interest in the lands and seas. Is she dead? Or blind and can't see? She's on her knees begging please, "Please, Oh Please, come back to me!"
