And the people say it for you to find 
Relief from the grief due to trials in its prime

Your scars from the past will soon heal…
There are more and more blessings to reveal
Wondering where have you been hiding
In the shadows in which you were abiding?

I apologize for being a delirious drag…
Now, I’m speechless...

I can’t help, but feel kinda restless
Can’t sleep because I’m hopeless
You got to save me from myself, my restful dear
You are asleep in your melodic, swaying chandelier

Prayers please…… 
Give me starlit and moonlit ease
The sun...

I feel like hurting myself, I’m sorry, Lord
Don’t know why I feel the urge crawl into me
With crooked, malicious, wicked discord
I need scars of soaring, eager sympathy 
To be my shadow beneath me
I love the...

I believe in You, despite the tough twists and turns…
But, this heart of mine – it burns…it churns…it learns…
To heal on its own through time, space and Your everything
Free verse helps me to let it...

Hm, well, I see you need to give yourself a lot more credit
Than you give yourself daily – you’re modest, I do admit 

You have a witty and clever side in you deep down
What about...

We often lament long-term effects of slavery
on those enslaved across multiple generations.

Enslavement leads to addiction and codependent denial,
then is taught and mentored to enslaved children,
also separated from family and sold,
until third generations and beyond
were dressed...

I know I’ve been going through the manias of craziness…

Don’t give up on me yet – I feel numb
Without you by...

Before I start growing numb
God’s...

I remember when it rained outside my window 
I remember our laughing fits, sweeping away the sorrow
I hope that your dreams come true tonight
I cope with the pain in my heart of might 

Can't you...

And after all, all these, my love
I adore you and will always love you, my dove
After so much hubbub and confusion
After so much chaos and tribulation
After so many wacky discussions
After so many funny contentions

In the desert of desolation,
I feel this all-too-familiar frustration
I yearn for something more
You're the one that I adore
You're the one that I adore

You deserted me long ago
The wind moves to and fro
I was wondering where...

It's a little bit scary in your shoes
I am utterly confused and feeling your blues
Where to go...oh no...where to go?
Let me go like the wind's epic blow

I can't stand your woe...your wretched woe

I'll be strong...

From each according to his ability
gains little traction in a world
where ability is so obviously diminished
just take an honest look around you
sound bites are no longer protection
against an epidemic of eyes wide shut
presumably a long...

On one side
One person omitted from a dozen
On the other side
Five added to six persons
Making two over doubles scores
Scrabbling with the round leather with passion
All in the quest for action
But occasionally with a distinct fashion

Separated...

Irritable and frustrated.
Very easily distracted.
Trying to come down,
from a high overacted.

Understand it’s not my
desire, to react as such.
Care instead of claiming,
bipolar is just a crutch.

The mania has subsided,
my better half setting in.
Depression now knocking,
with its...

Your 'friend'? Your 'bestie' ...

You KNOW her face like your own,
Know the many masks she wears -
The lovely guises she dresses in to seduce,
And the lies she whispers, sweet.

You know the world she has left...

Earth

Mono syllables are potent
But are best left  untouched
They call for a gargantuan grasp.

For this monumental  mono
Commonplace,though
With a contemporary spin, 
A monologue just wont do.

And without a twin,
Its original  ware ,hard and soft...

Lost

Crushed by the weight of confusion
doubt and uncertainty my mind reels 
like spindles from a broken axle
Disjointed configuration of mangled
manias hurdling out of control
till restored clarity should arrive
resetting sanity
Debris strewn concourse defiles my uncharted path
broken...

If I skip sleep and skip my med's tonight
against my doctor's warning, I'll soon hear
the strident voices trumpet loud and clear,
unnerving me,--trust me, it's no delight!
When I'm bipolar I fail to comply 
and manias become...
