...Pendulum
By SolApathy
Into the shadow of what I thought would
last
My mind took from me; my future and past
petrifying thoughts control time
Insanity consuming my mind
Outrageous rage to comatose calm
In one day like a pendulum; broken
I swing far beyond limits of society’s norms
In my soul; brewing storms

How wide the spectrum of emotions can be is staggering when you stop to think about it. We can't always explain why we feel what we feel, but we feel nonetheless. Brilliant use of the pendulum in this write! Your Reb;).
