Mood Swing Happens

Hello midnight hour It is I again I’ve come to you in restless mood I’m not tired Nor am I sleepy But here I be In sleepless mood I fear not the darkness But I dare not close my eyes I hear loudly the thoughts in my head But I don’t even understand my thoughts They’re a jumble of everything Now I feel like crying But why And there it is a single tear In silence it rolls Down my cheek like a liquid diamond Wait there’s more now Flowing like two small streams Hastily downhill Through misty eyes I heard laughter Oh, it is I laughing hysterically OMG, have I gone mad Quickly I assured myself nonsense I’m just homesick in this restless midnight hour And of course it’s that time of the month Mood swing happens Ahhh, to be a woman Fin chuuk 3/24/23

Though it is a beautiful experience to be a woman (most of the time!) mood swings tend to tarnish the beauty. Your expressive poem of the midnight blues is moving. I especially loved your tears "Flowing like two small streams / Hastily downhill" - such lovely melancholy! Warmest wishes, my inspiring friend ~Susan

Fin, Beautiful poetry on the topic of "Mood swing." It's amazing how weeping is portrayed as being like diamonds and running water.

Being a woman is sooooo much fun ! Most of the time. :) Of course, not when a 'mood swing happens'. Gotta love the hormones being out of control and emotions everywhere. NOT ! It's no fun at all. However, your words bring a smile and reading about it is enjoyable. Thanks for sharing, Fin. :) Hugs, Brandy

I can relate so well, Fin. When my uterus and ovaries were removed at the age of 39, I experienced hot flushes and mood swings very often that I had to take hormone tabs for about two years. Beautifully written dear friend.

Very expressive of insomnia,Fin: Love the metaphor of your tears becoming a river and flowing down hill. I have a small device called a Medtronic sound generator that I set to ocean waves at night . It calms my mind to sleep. SuZ

Oh how cool. This all started after I had Covid. It messed up my body. And I think I’m under stress too, so that all adds to it. Thank you, Suz

Makes me think of 'The Sound of Silence' - insomnia is a frustrating thing, as you aptly describe here~

Fin Chuuk

A great song, one of my all time favorite. And yes, this was inspired by that song in restless midnight hour. Thank you for recognizing it. I appreciate very much. :)

I forgot to tell you. I was an insomniac and nothing was happening. Then I found a prescribed sleeping pill that actually worked for me. I think you should find one because a sedative will take your mind off those racing thoughts. I do understand THOSE.

Nothing can diminish the beauty of a woman to the least, not even during those days, for women are God's masterpiece of creation. Excellently written, dearest Fin. Be blessed!
