Melancholy

Cyclothymia

I can feel it returning to suffocate me

I thought my cycle was over and I could go back to being normal

I want to be focused and pleasant

But this nothingness, this agony

Is coming back again

To haunt me

To clutter my sleep with nightmares

To dampen my everything

I can't escape it and I can feel it

I hate it when it is gone, but love it when it is here

I fear I will never be rid of it

I just want to be free

But still, I can feel it

Returning to suffocate me

I thought my cycle was over and I could go back being normal.

The emotion and message is very clear.

The simplicity of your words is right for this topic.

Very well written and true.

The flow could use a little work but that is easily fixed with some punctuation. Read it out loud and put mark where you want the reader to pause. Imagine if you were reading this out loud. I love it otherwise! I think this is something that everyone can relate to, that sadness returning and you don't want it to. Great job the meaning comes through clear. I have only one question, "...but love it when it is here" What do you mean by this line?
