Mania,
Wild and crazy.
Feelings of anger unearthed and revealed through
uncensored and hateful words.
Tears shed due to memories of the past.
Rules to follow and consequences to pay.
The mind plays many games.
Stay in the here and now.
Stick with the present.
Visualize,
Tell me what you see.
Worthy of existing, valued as a person,
and much needed by me.
[Dedicated to my Mom who suffered from the ups & downs of manic-depression yet never failed to be a loving, kind, patient Mama to her three children and a loving, supportive wife to her husband of 45 years. May she finally be at peace.... J.C.H. 2/8/1946-11/28/2012]
