Are you OK?
Are you OK?
Nobody knows
Too many feelings
I didn't want to show
You seem different
Than you were before
Like another person
Just walked through the door
Wide eyes
Wild stare
Looking far away
For something that's not there
Gotta make myself
Put on a show
Play that character
Everyone knows
Which is the real me
I wish I knew
I'm one whole person
Divided into
Am I OK?
I don't know
Two personalities battle
But which is the foe
Nobody knows
Too many feelings
I didn't want to show
You seem different
Than you were before
Like another person
Just walked through the door
Wide eyes
Wild stare
Looking far away
For something that's not there
Gotta make myself
Put on a show
Play that character
Everyone knows
Which is the real me
I wish I knew
I'm one whole person
Divided into
Am I OK?
I don't know
Two personalities battle
But which is the foe

Walls
I hear voices around me
Their anger and hate surround me
At times it seems they control me
They force their way in so slowly
Sometimes they seem to make sense
They say to cause pain and relieve my stress
If you really listen these walls talk
I can hear them wherever I walk
Everyday they grow louder and speak more truth
With every word it seems I have less to lose
If you can't hear you'd think me insane
But I alone have seen their pain
If you look real close you can see how deep
From the cracks in the walls you can see them...
Their anger and hate surround me
At times it seems they control me
They force their way in so slowly
Sometimes they seem to make sense
They say to cause pain and relieve my stress
If you really listen these walls talk
I can hear them wherever I walk
Everyday they grow louder and speak more truth
With every word it seems I have less to lose
If you can't hear you'd think me insane
But I alone have seen their pain
If you look real close you can see how deep
From the cracks in the walls you can see them...

bluebird
depression talks, it has a voice of its own
it is the voice of despair
dark and needy it clings to me
until I have no choice but to listen
soon I am wearing its clothes
the work uniform for the sad
defeated look in the eyes and all
in the listless way I walk and talk
it's a heaviness of being
it talks to me
it has a dark voice
I struggle with it, wrestle with it even
until I am too tired to fight it anymore
and I can hold it down no longer
I have to let it out then or it will eat at me ...
it is the voice of despair
dark and needy it clings to me
until I have no choice but to listen
soon I am wearing its clothes
the work uniform for the sad
defeated look in the eyes and all
in the listless way I walk and talk
it's a heaviness of being
it talks to me
it has a dark voice
I struggle with it, wrestle with it even
until I am too tired to fight it anymore
and I can hold it down no longer
I have to let it out then or it will eat at me ...

lucidity
sweet sanctity within sanity
break the chains that subdue
inside the sacred halls of lucidity
endure the wretched pain
to find yourself stronger still
delusions may rage
but in the poet's keep be well
break the chains that subdue
inside the sacred halls of lucidity
endure the wretched pain
to find yourself stronger still
delusions may rage
but in the poet's keep be well

JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE
Through trails and tribulations we will go through something's that we will never totally understand, as we may never truly understand as it is lessons that we must learn, for that is the journey of life with lessons to learn. That sometimes changes how we see and live within the depth of our lives. For sometimes we may encounter stumbling blocks, stopping us from going anywhere in our lives whether its forward sometimes just leaving us to go backwards. Yet that shouldn't be the case nor should it matter how you achieve your goals, for ask thyself what is fear for it is only a subconscious...

Had a really bad week
Had a really bad week
No idea how this ends
No one understands me
No family, no friends
I’m lost in my thoughts
Can’t believe how they race
They scramble my thinking
No matter the place
I’m under the covers
I’m shaking, I’m hot
These chills hold me captive
Sit stare at the clock
Don’t know how they do it
How most want to go on
When everything lets you down
Play yourself a sad song
I wallow in pity
I feel bad for myself
I should wanna do something
Read books from my shelf
The old me just left me...
No idea how this ends
No one understands me
No family, no friends
I’m lost in my thoughts
Can’t believe how they race
They scramble my thinking
No matter the place
I’m under the covers
I’m shaking, I’m hot
These chills hold me captive
Sit stare at the clock
Don’t know how they do it
How most want to go on
When everything lets you down
Play yourself a sad song
I wallow in pity
I feel bad for myself
I should wanna do something
Read books from my shelf
The old me just left me...

Symptom
Walking after unseen inclinations
Lost inside the mystery
Voices bait my desires
I swear I've seen the devil
But I'm still learning to perceive God
What are the signs of the times
Or just something I'm reading too far into
Delusions of my self-grandeur
Back to this mountain I circle but can't move
Hung up on my concern, out of touch
What is reality
When my reality is under the interrogation of doctors
Your bound to find what you're looking for
When your mind is already made up to see it

olanzipine blues
all my muscle feels like
struggling in
punishing weights on
ankles and wrists
im supposed to say
thank you for this
my mind feels like
running into padded corners
smashing body
against blue mattress
no one can hear me
no one that matters
im supposed to say
thank you for this
my joints feel like
old machine needs oiling
rheumatic pain
thank you thank you
for this
struggling in

Bi-Polar - Through the eyes of a complex Mind
Update* Thank You Candor for helping me with this in the critique forum. Very appreciated. Thank you everyone else for the help aswell truly I am very grateful.
You're a living performance trying out for a part, while inside you're broken and falling apart.
Mind is clouded with judgement-reality strikes.
Life's an emotional rollercoaster ride: your views morph to shades of black and white.
Daily struggles of pain, weakness a curse.
This is me, myself, and I.
Scars of pain, torture, neglect,
have given me this complex mind.
As...
