Wayward

Now she's here and now she's there, flittering and flying through the hours in a day, laughing now, then crying. Her moods are fleeting, they grasp her in a flash then just as fast they fizzle like a firework in the rain. Would that she were constant like the moon! self-directed, self-assured, without a care, but she is wayward, ever flickering, fluttering, floundering, more there than anywhere.

I really enjoyed this. It sounds like my teenage step-daughter... honestly! Enraged hormones.

There are many people who live in the state of flux you describe so well, Keith. Very keen observation of a bipolar woman. (Wasn't there a line in Romeo and Juliet about the "inconstant moon"?) Nice work!
