From the High to the Low

In the quiet night of dissent

from the stormy sea to the depth of the ocean,

a whirlwind of chaos suddenly dies.

I sink into despairing emotion.

Vibrant colors fade to shadows

with every dream crashing down.

The manic high plunges into darkness.

My energy crashes down to the ground.

The twists and turns suddenly come to a stop.

The chaos within becomes hopeless sadness.

This roller coaster ride of emotions

becomes absolute madness.

I don’t know which is worse

because both scream insanity.

One is an endless state of racing thoughts,

the other is calamity.

Where is the balance in all this?

Where is the peace I long for?

Am I going to ride these waves forever?

I don’t know how much I can take anymore.
