Bipolar
In the agonizing sightlessness of the dark,
she crawls to regain her consciousness
and balance the scales where two minds
live inside her very core...one defiant, livid
with a sudden vile anger flung unto beloved kin--
The other granting joy's luster through her
kind nature, endowing an essence rosy
as morning petals-- oh cheerful, vigorous
amid the outburst of rain.
Until she swings like a pendulum, ghastly
once more, tearing hours into unbearable screams...
at fault is the one charged of insolence,
while her half-part shrinks behind a dainty veil
But that makes two of them ,
one face ripping the other...muddled, desperate
in life's torment uncertain if she
is dangling back and forth where mother moon
leads the way to the path of soundness, graciously.
