On My Way Down Pt.2 (The Storm Inside My Brain)
My Brain is boundless
It's easy to get lost there.
My Thoughts are an endless storm
It's effortless to see unclear.
My Emotions wax and wane like waves
I wonder which it'll be today?
The Masses are unbeknown to what's brewing
I'm imploding, I wonder if the supernova will have influence?
Outwardly gifted only means the inside is cursed.
The thoughts get so loud, my brain starts to hurt.
So I drink to quite the storm, preying the next sip will work.
With the waning of the waves comes back the pain.
So I get so damn high that I lose touch with sane.
When I finally come down, it's back to the masses and my brain.
So I become cold and numb, hoping I'll feel nothing.
But boundless is inescapable, and the cycle starts again.

I wrote this on my way back down from a manic episode. It's probably the realest thing I ever wrote. I hope it gives people a little insight on what I go through and what it's like living with a mood disorder.
