Manic: A Poem

a man struggling with mental illness in panic and screaming

Racing thoughts and impulses taking hold

Is it me or the monster in my brain?

Am I in control?

When was the last time I was

My brain is a rollercoaster with no brakes

Hold on for the ride

Watch the wreckage

Then the monster sleeps

As I pick up the pieces

I saw it all

I remember it all

The shame

Humilations

Before it starts up again
