NUMB BRAIN

INCOHERENCY TRAIN

MEDICATION HURRICANE

How can I feel when I cannot think?

Mentally bogged, I can only sink.

Running away from pain and from life--

Chasing the edge of my wicked sharp vice.

@>~~

Coca-Cola fizzing in my heart

Manic-driven shaking start

Running rampant through my soul

Need my meds to make me whole

Hate the fact that I need help

Hate not having control of self

Rhyming rhythms old as time

Bipolar mania ain't worth a dime.
