Madness Comes in Different Flavors - Final Post

I'm no poet,
I'm just a girl spewing lines made-up of nightmares, rage and some times
dreams.
And... I've chased those dreams once, never finding my absolution. My burdens
land me in front of a filthy mirror every time, confronting myself. But
I'm grateful to know that my soul is still intact. I've ran my dominate
fist against walls, countless times, only to leave behind broken thoughts.
In an enraged mindset, spawns a spontaneous combustion.
I hate you, words I long to scream at that extrasolar cavernous look peering
out from both my eyes. Don't hate me, hate yourself, you twit but... I'm
one in the same. Allow me to find the perfect idiom to shut you out, my
inner madness.
Pen in one hand and notepad in the other, filling lines of toxic waste.
Please don't snort these lines as I warn, they're contagious. I secure
a cherry stem around my twisted tongue to lock in the flavor.
Hot pink is my newfound obsession, a switch from forest green. I Don't
know... The color has really brightened my mood. Hot pink clothes, hot
pink nails and hot pink (constructive) thoughts. I'm so glad that I found
the will to reconnect with my feminine side. -where have you been my whole
life... .
Yuck, grapefruit. I add sugar to sweeten the bitter taste. But I'm smart
enough to know, that this thing we have going here (the grapefruit and
I) is strictly love -hate. So... I savored the bittersweet.
Now I know what you're thinking; this chick's normal, and I'll show you
madness... Now wait! Stop right fucking there, and 'Don't' move. You just
infuriated me.
Allow me to warn you that, I'm highly unstable. I've been known to pick
fights with myself. If my mind is made up, leave it alone. Don't touch
me, just don't. I swear that your pity touch will send me into a psychotic
break, and your shocking facial expressions are no better. I refer to this
state of mindset solely as, Black Licorice. -one word, disgusting. -No
two! fucking disgusting.
There are days that I confined myself to a room; not necessarily having
to be pitch black, I welcome artificial light in. These are the days that
I need to think heavy to (only) myself. While appearing calm on the outside,
I'm shattering within. In my moments of confusion, I like to kill things
off slowly in my mind. So remember, I'm calm on the outside, but have a
landmine on the inside. I refer to this unstable madness as Papaya, don't
eat the fucking seeds.
For the past year, I've been all smiles and giggles. Here and there, I'd
struggle with a bit of frustration, but nothing so serious. My heart beats
with content and feels so alive. Happiness is not meant to last, because
there will always be that one thing lying dormant awaiting to wake. Constant
happiness, this is the worst kind of madness. While the liquid below is
set to simmer, I'll be eating red tomatoes.
Will you so kindly pass me the sea salt, awe, THANK ...you.

A piece seemingly written in fervent heat like a stream of consciousness rant that is attempting to make sense of a new found happiness in the last year but there's the gnawing reality that big, bad, mad sadness can strike at any time. Sometimes slow creeping but always suddenly and painful. Inspiring piece.

A tomato, saltine crackers, and a tin of smoked oysters - a meal fit for a king (or queen) Netti. So good to read you again and I'm almost normal now that I don't drink anymore. Enjoyed getting to know you a little better here in this personal piece. Be good to yourself and cheers! - Dan
