Manic Episode

delusions, illusions, these random contusions, idolic notions of noiseless commotions, keeps me in motion, whirling with the gravity I'm on my knees, praying what you're saying I still believe and if its true what i really need, is to be sent away from family and friends, I will contend but that doesn't mean it's not right for me, can't you see I'm not in control of this body anymore restless and sore, an endless downpour of emotions, evoke erosions my sanity, slowly bleeds leaving me a shell of me all the while I beg and plead leave me be, leave me be I'm fine I'm fine, you're acting crazy, not me, can't you see, I see it all so plainly, time for me to be set free from this false reality with this slice I'll set it right, clean and quick, pick it up, hazy drift, I'm giving up,

Manic episodes are not easy. Youv written very well from the perspective of an individual going through one. The delusions illusions uncontrollable thoughts , restlessness and so much more so well woven and delivered. It definitely is challenging, and also scary to experience manic episodes, but i hope whoever is going through this will not give up. As it will get better soon.

thank you I've been trying to write a poem about this experience for a while now. I'm not giving up now but I tried to write from my perspective at the time. Things do get better, thank you again.
