Bi-polarcoaster

A Poem by Death's Poet
"

A rollercoaster ride inside my mind

"
Mania
On top of the world
What a view I can see
The weather is great
Better days there couldn't be
I'm going 100 miles an hour
My mind branching out like a tree
I take risk after risk
Nothing holding back, I'm free

Hypomania
The slightest thing goes wrong
Anger rises up from ground
Aggravated and frustrated thoughts
Trying to escape, on the walls they pound
I can't seem to express them as they multiply
They keep coming, I fear I may drown 

Depression
It's sunny outside, but in my head I feel rain
I can't bring myself to get out of bed
I try to hide myself under the covers from pain
Yesterday I was overjoyed and couldn't sit still
Now I can't do anything. Have I gone insane?
I see others in the middle of both who seem perfectly fine
I wish for it and cry in hope and in vain

I finally accept there is nothing I can change
I accept and surrender but won't admit defeat
So I sit in bed silently
Waiting for the cycle to repeat.

Author's Note

Death's Poet
I switched the rhyme scheme up for the Depression part to make it a more stark contrast. I'd love any feedback you can give :)
