Marathon

A minuscule glimpse into my internal struggles with Manic Depression A.K.A. Bipolar Disorder.

Opening my restless eyes to the world surrounding me, is hounding me

Feelings of suffocation and pain inhabit the void in me

Standing on the edge of an emotional cliff piercing down at my thoughts; that has been set ablaze by life 

Strong will plays the role of a wooden bucket which leaks as it sways back and forth guided by the unsteady hands of uncertainty; causing curiosity in the impulses keeping me from the edge

Alone in the midst of obscurity  persecuting me as I run ambiguously along the yellow line painted beneath my feet, I lose momentum; the omnipresence is closing in

Hey, nice work!
I particularly like the lines
"Strong will plays the role of a wooden bucket which leaks as it sways back and forth guided by the unsteady hands of uncertainty; causing curiosity in the impulses keeping me from the edge"

Awesome imagery. Keep up the great work!

This was a brilliant write.. even though I don't really go with writes with big words but... this one really caught my eyes.. for me the last two lines were the best.

Your writing conveys the emotions in play and it shows your true feelings. The metaphors work here with their placement. Well done!
