We'Re Manic

We’re Manic.
 Depression?
Still in question
        Not for me
My mother knows, I sleep, in shoes
dirty clothes
with lithium
    bottles
          strewn

I chain myself
in working
          panic

She’s Manic

She talks at speed
   too fast for 
God’s
Prayer to read 
Excited, beyond 
the force - Indeed
we’re manic
compulsively free
