Ash Miller Poet Rhyme

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,

Ink Empress March 15, 2024 at 1:01 AM 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. Ash Miller March 15, 2024 at 10:51 AM 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.

Karen Jones March 15, 2024 at 12:56 AM Don’t give up! Your poem is a tool to be used to defeat your dilemma by shedding light despite what feels like despair and darkness! I have felt this his and grasping on to hope during a health challenge is helpful. Hugs you are courageous and worthy of this win in being able to put this on a page! Kudos
