...Chaotic Visions
By SolApathy
Eternal silence we plead
End the voices trying to control me
Pills only stripped me of my soul
Psychiatrists drove me to almost let go
Family distanced
Couldn’t handle my resistance
Friends were never easy for me
Much too abrasive and dark, you see
Left me with the only friend I knew
Thy name is manic-depressive & I love you, too
Never unfriending, always willing
...To perform some bending
Never breaking under the strain
My unpredictable, almost chaotic
Torrential rains
Bound by a rainbow I kept close to my heart
The insanity of my duality is my pillar of morality
I can always talk to manic or depressive
Perhaps obsessive
I need not to open my eyes, though I know the dark truth
You placed me in a cage of rubber
The pills trying to steal my dreams
But tonight, as you see me hanging from somewhere high
Yours will be the only scream this night
I smile as I escape the blinding lights
Trying to heal me because I “wasn’t right”
You never stopped to listen or see
The beauty of someone that sees the world
…Differently

Beautifully expressive! Those that claim to "love" us only love what they think we should be... :(

Thank you for the comment. Unfortunately many of those in life refuse to accept there are many hues of existence, not all of them bright and shiny...

"Pills only strip me of my soul", well goddamn. I know that feeling all too well, dear heart. The sad thing is that nobody can truly see the beauty that's right underneath their noses, and they can really miss out. An amazing write, lovely. Rebs:).
