Frenemy.

Tick tock
        Tick tock
                 Tick tock

It's already 5am
And here I am
Wide awake

As thoughts run
Through my head
Like a bullet train

Am I relapsing again?
Or I'm just on the edge
Waiting for a helping hand?

Or maybe I'm letting it be
For I've missed
Insanity to seep inside of me

Seeing that I am able to write
Shows clearly that
Hypomania has arrived.

Welcome back,
                 My frenemy.

Frenemy: An enemy disguised as a friend.

Nights Like These

I'm awake.
Not because I want to be awake.
Not because I'm not tired, I am.
I'm awake.
Because my mind is too creative.
Because my dreams must be accomplished now.
I'm awake.
Because my chemicals are unbalanced.
Because I didn't take my medication.

Maybe.

Maybe I should run away
And be carefree
As I float around the field
Letting myself go
Consuming the fresh breeze
Thanking for the life
That I was given.

Or maybe I should be alone
Alone from the world
As I consume the madness
Within me
And letting it eat me alive.

Maybe.
Well, maybe.

A curse, indeed.

You live
You die
You soar
You fall
And it all repeats
In an evil cycle
A terrifying cycle
Until you finally take
Your own life.

A curse, indeed.
