Bipolar

I spiral down Into the hollow place within my heart Where each beat Is cacophony And every pulse Is severe anguish Paranoid Perpetual agony Living in a clock With time ticking Tearing me senseless Entangled in disorder In tune with the echoes In my brain Like a bell I am a church Divided Desperate I am deprived of serenity Hysteria chasing me Chasing pills To chase pain In a chaotic dystopia I call reality Dazed and dreaming In kaleidoscope visions Like broken glass Shattered And I am staring into my reflection Unrecognizable to me Is this the apocalypse Of a world once known to me As bliss And ignorant security Or have I gone With Alice Down a hole And now whole I cannot be?
