The Bipolar Maze

Time goes by so slowly,

I watch the minutes ticking by.

Sleep is sure to avoid me,

even with tiredness in my eyes.

My mind is rapidly racing,

my heart just won't be still.

I feel like i'm running,

but the race is all uphill.

My thoughts cloud my judgement,

peace I can not find,

The devils on my tail and not

very far behind.

I'm desperate to catch my breath,

I just need to calm my nerves.

I don't want to think of anything,

my head's begun to hurt.

Too many things run

through my mind. I feel I'm on high alert.

My body begins to tremble ,

as my knees sink in the dirt.
