Unstoppable High

My circuits are shorting out,

and I'm learning all about

a situation. Makes me pout

when I heard all about the shout

that is raised against the scout

who holds himself against doubt

and everyday has a bout

where they fight and fight without

knowing who they attack. I rout

any fear or anxiety sprout

that is sprouting out. Throughout

my life I have fought without

a sword or a pen. I'm devout

to finishing with this battle.

Stuck in a cage, so I just rattle

the bars like a wild man

who has an equally wild plan

on how he will now escape.

This curtain of fear that I drape

over everyone who stands in my way

is getting heavier by the day.

Passing planes so high above

are soaring down below me, but love

is not what makes me fly so high.

My own passion leads me to die

if need be so I can just live

until I have nothing left to give.

My life, my mind, my brain, my all

is what I am going to call

upon so I can rule and reign

and hold myself above the pain.

It cannot hold me down below

all of the places I will go.

Nothing is there in this whole land

that can hold me down by the hand.

Sometimes I seem a little crazy,

but life is not all just a daisy.

I need to get a little high

if I will survive all of my

hardships that come pressing in.

My life will not begin again

so why not go and make the most

of this big nation. Coast to coast

is where I am extending my reign

while I am breaking every chain.

I apologize if when I fly

you cannot see me passing by.

Now I'm an unstoppable high,

racing around, waving goodbye.

Not that it doesn't work...it does, and your writing is always great.

Wonderful job as usual David! This one actually gives me a heavy metal sort of vibe. i think it would be really interesting to hear these as lyrics to a metal song! The diction is so simple, yet the message is so strong and brutally honest. Nice job!

This is manic but on the positive end of the manic spectrum David. It reminds me of the chatter of a friend of mine's who is Bi-Polar and how there are not enough minutes in the day for all the things she plans and tries to do during those periods because she know that a down will soon come that will put her into a state of catatonia for days or weeks.
"I apologize if when I fly
you cannot see me passing by.
Now I'm an unstoppable high,
racing around, waving goodbye.' - you captured the essence of mania here, I feel.

A well written piece.

I think you covered it all. I was out of breath just from reading it. The pace that it demands I think gives me that feeling. It's very interesting but that fits you from what I have read and you have a good mind and I like what this says also. I think this may be your "Anthem" that you have written. No matter nice work and thanks.
