I am the pendulum that swings left.                                                                                                                                                                                                       right.   left.                                                                                     right. left.                        right. I find myself in equilibrium, now, nothing is afflicting me. the slightest nudge-- a gentle push and now I'm swinging violently. left.                                                                                                                                                                                                       right.   left.                                                                                     right. left.                        right.   Breathe.

Your vengeful mood swings Taste like a fury long forgotten As your intrepid feelings sing One's mind would easily be stolen Haunted by the melodies it speaks My very consciousness begins to shake Reaching the limit, forcing its peak Yet your voice slithers away like a snake Unheard, unspoken like a gust of wind The phantom presence of this anger Crawls on my flesh leaving me skinned As it finally seeps into....I feel the danger You are but the darkness of your mood This tension is putting the world on tilt The snap will be one to scar with blood And ours shall be stained to the very hilt As our blades clash again in endless battle One that has all but begun at the edge

Unrequited
I scream When broken a dream In the middle of a darknight Uncontrollable was the inner fight Woke up sweating with the heart's race Walked up to find some solace What soothed me the best Made me feel blessed Put my smile back Trust this hack A large scoop of soft rich icecream -------- ------- ------ ---- --- -- - - .

Every day is a different story, But cycles tend to form. Cycles, cycles, cycles, cycles, cycles. Compulsive, depressive, manic, crazy. It’s like a CD skip- skip- skip- skipping, But it’s not like she can remember why she was mad in the first place. Doesn’t recall the fight you yelled at her for, Can’t seem to forget her love for you though. Roller coasters are her favorite. Did you hear me? IRONY AT ITS FINEST. Up and down and around and around, Riding and being thrown by the waves over and over. Thank you for putting up with her swinging, Back and forth, like two-face. She can’t control it, she didn’t want to be this way, But God said she was strong enough...isn’t she? At least she has good music tastes, Riding around, the stations changing with her beautiful moods. Smoke blowing out the windows, She’s the one the music talks about: Here and Gone without a trace. Do you think she ever gets tired? Tired trying to keep up with her day to day phases? Pha- Pha- Phases like the moon. Beauty ever changing, but silent. Stuck in her head. You love her though right? I mean, think about it. When it’s a good day, she’s so understanding and chill and all-around perfect. Those days make every other worth it. Right? God bless the cycles, cycles, cy- cy- cycles. For one whole day she’s uncontrollable. Asking you a million questions and wanting to hug you for as long and as tight as she can. Kisses, “I love yous,” excitement, annoyance. “Can we get a pet octopus? Oh pretty pretty please? Can I cut my hair or dye it bright pink?” “You hate pink” you say, but there she goes again. Down down down the rabbit hole. Off again she goes. Hair flying in the breeze, that perfume you bought her still on your shirt. Irri- irri- irritate- irritation. The day very next, not even 24 hours yet, Tears falling down her face, rivers of black eyeliner. She doesn’t get out of bed. “Baby what’s wrong?” Nothing is ever truly wrong. It’s like a weight on her chest, suppressing her every move. A deep, black hole in the pit of her stomach, isn’t that what she said? Misery at its finest. Almost like she’s already dead. Why put up with her then? Why ride this roller coaster? Why hold her tight when she laughs? Why hold her tight when she cries? You see, why would anyone in the first place? In fact, there’s no perks to dating a bipolar girl. Not one. Not at all.

Perks of Dating a Bipolar Girl

i'm so angry my face feels pale empty space no art- ist wanted to draw in i want something to fill this void behind sharp teeth: vomiting coffee grinds and blood over my favorite novel in a dream where my glasses are still broken and there's always been wet bed sheets, red is nothing is smothering oh, i want. need pain love leaving i've never craved laughter no one here is looking at me the eyes of hungry gods are glued to my skin tearing them selves apart leaving me leaving me to cope with one less layer i think there are devils in the clouds that haunt me. oh, i need. i need a cigarette somewhere between home and hell taste fog water catch a breath push everything down with old blood coffee splash water on my face: who the **** is that?

dull ache
Snatched in betwixt' The Shifting and Switching All midst the alters.. and moods.. The hasty cyclone.. The Rapid cycling.. The Stumbling.. The hurling.. One after other All these emotions' transposing- From exhilaration. grandiosity. The loquacious episodes.. To Exasperation. Despondency. Despise. Remorse. The floating. dripping.salty..rampage. And amid all frantic.. all the chaos.. There.. this effete voidness.. Gleaning selves up' unhanding 'em again Gleaning. Unhanding. Gleaning And unhanding . Over and over Again

Enervation
Wrapped  in a pair of in-commensurable clothing covered under this thick layers of condemn frigid thoughts: they crack ! zoom ! soon shalt it be whacked ? cleaved ? possessed by these insecurities.. these dilemmas.. grinning! grinding! " you dont have sufficient defenses to avoid me " " you dont have enough exit to  ******* escape me " just because i dont own some 3.5 inches hanging between my thighs just to extend itself to some 6.5 inches when it needs to be.. feeded ! shaked ! yes i have been concealed.. enslaved by this hypotrical rapid advanced state of moral decay not to ever break the treaty.. the treaty ..they chocked me with all long the genesis when the sawbones miserably proclaimed " oh its a girl " but never did she declared how many . now: trip over each hold onto the other between the mania and back i am left with a zilch hollow ! sunken ! nothing but these several Me's. nothing but these fabricated decorum. nothing.. but these everything : I SHRUG!!

The Strenuous juncture
My girl has an unpredictable swing She loves like a relapsing stoner High today, clean the next One day she insists she's mine And the next she pretends I'm air So I take note of that extra I love you She says on days I'm her everything And save them for days that I'm nothing. My girl has a reckless swing. But she will always be my girl.
