Bipolar

I dine on despair, feed me your wounds
I defile the course of your mind
The candles drip hot
Where repentance is wrought
The framework of the confined
 
Shovel away this merciless day
Which holds a man to his scheme
Questions have arisen
About this path we have written
Does your ego balk at this dream?
 
As I flit around, my head can't be found
For it's mesmerized by the decay
I harvest within
The vociferous din
Of the voices spreading dismay
 
Ideation is laced where clarity lay waste
And it strengthens throughout every day
Respect is never given
To the life that I'm livin'
It just lingers wherever I lay
 
It empties your soul and fills up the hole
With sorrow, pain and confusion
Then mania seeps in
What a marvelous sin
To forge a path of chaotic delusion
 
When woe brings us down
shelving our crown
Creating a stain on our day
Just consider the cost
Our loved ones are lost
And we're left hopelessly tending the fray
