Is it possible

Is it possible to be living and dead
Is it sanity to always be living in your head
When shadows move and voices talk
Is it any wonder iv lost my spark?

Mania is a complex beast
My Neuro cells have increased
Chemicals floating in the brain
Not one of them helps me feel sane

Be alone or mix with others 
What is the best way to recover?
Medication can only help so much
Meadows and faries I want to touch

Grounding myself as the voices take hold
My body shaking,  I feel so cold
Music playing in my head
Am I half a sleep or am i half dead?

This mania couldn't be stopped
It's a new mindset I have to adopt
A benzo a day to stave it away
But the voices and shadows will be back to play

My body hurts, my mind so torn
Agitation has now taken hold
Now my speech is totally affected
Everything about me is disconnected 

So on I go for another day of turmoil 
Another day I wish I could just smile
Pills are taken let's just see
Will this mania defeat me?
