Me Myself and I

I run away from myself:
When I am happy, I am sad
when I am in love, I am out again
I try to joy myself, then I sulk.
I am sorrow when I rejoice.
when I think it is too late to frown
I turn dark and blue.
I run from darkness:
intending towards the light,
I burn from too much of it.......
and to darkness I am back again.
when my sea billows roar,
my sea tides calm.
When the bridge seems strong to cross,
Then a bar lingers
and back to wetness I am Again!

Excellent piece, about the gambit of feelings and paths we all go through.
