    Fighting The Flashes (A Poem)

    Alright, for those who don't know (which I'm sure is most of you), I am a musician. This is a song I wrote about dealing with relationships and having to factor in the whole bipolar issue.

    For any of you who have done it....it is rough....so hopefully you can identify with it. 

    A song for my last blog
    Current mood: Still creative!

    "November Tragedy (Fighting the Flashes)"
    How can I honestly say
    These straight-faced confessions
    Filling the rim
    With useless obesessions
    I sat there, fetal
    Watching flies making circles
    Fighting the flashes
    Of my face turning purple
    I get so jumbled
    My words become foreign
    The days that ensue are nothing short of boring
    I've only let myself see the rain that's been pouring
    I want to see the sun that I've been ignoring

    And all of the tragedies just can't compare
    To the polar extreme some really do care
    About my apathy of life that I flaunt
    I some really care, but some don't...

    So I wade through the tunnels
    Of sadness and despair
    Just to find myself shaking
    From November's cool air
    Let's recite the poetry that spills
    Like wine from my pen
    I'll scream out "Good job!"
    And we'll do it again
    Everyday I swallow
    Two Lithium Carbonate
    It can only do so much
    I'm still the person I hate
    So stop all my crying
    You said you'd be here
    You're somewhere in Seattle
    And you're definitely not near...

    (chorus)
