This, My Disease

Every Year Inevitably Becoming A Mess
Starting To Lose Sleep, The Time Has Come To Be Depressed

Chemically Imbalanced, Apathetically Seeking Romance
My Thoughts Focusing Negatively On The Past

Seasonally Insane, Tormented By Addicting Pains
Everything I Was, Temporarily Engulfed In Flames

Five Months Of Hate, It’s Time For Me To Go Away
Every Time Hoping I’ll Be Back One Day

The Beast Within Released, Now I Have Become The Disease
All Those Around Me Wishing I’d Be At Ease, Yet Nothing Seems To Please

Waiting To Be Me, Every Day Wanting To Scream
Why Can’t This All Be A Bad Dream, Not My Reality?

Nothing Is What It Seems, Paranoid Delusions Contaminating All That I See
Nothing Known Can Cure This Disease

Why Can’t I Just Be Me?
Why Can’t Anyone Set Me Free?

Hello Brandon
wave
I was so deeply struck by your write. you encaptured such the deep emotional pull that bi polar effects the inner soul of one self, not knowing what to be afraid of by stepping out of one self.
My beautiful best friend of 25 years was aflicted with this painful di s-ease. Where one day he decided he did not want it anymore.
So sad and yet so free now.
I thank you for sharing your words.
I send my strength vision and love towards the afflicted many.

I await more of your writes.....
