Today was a good day,
not by your standards, nay.
I did not lay on my bed
waiting for its end.
I cooked and cleaned
Laughed and danced
Almost like I was high
and glad to be alive.

It’s night now,
the euphoria is wearing off
I’m coming back to reality.

It’s gone now,
the bundle of energy
Gone on to possess someone else
Fool them into thinking all’s well.

Maybe it wasn’t really happiness
And all it ever was
was mania.
