Manic

By Sparadic

Extreme happiness I will not give up
Complete despair I can live without
Fortunately it’s the happiness I feel at the moment
Can’t Imagine giving that up
Actually I don’t think I’m manic
Life is just goin good right now
enjoy right? Ha
I’ve felt my full share of despair for this life
although I know I’m not done yet
But I gotta say that I’m very happy about ridding myself of the largest cause
I no longer hate myself
Yeah I might just like myself now
I did a bunch of right things that made up for some wrongs....some?? Ha
I’ve got to hope that the only person that I abused was myself
but I think I’m making that right now.. At least for now
who knows what tomorrow will bring
I do know one thing, I will not do what I’ve done again.
I never want to feel that way ever
Such a sad and lonely place, so much so that there seems only one way out
So easy and extremely hard to come to
I guess I’ve learned that a person should not have to fight constantly
to get what they want
It never turns out good
If there are constant hurdles then pick a new path
Sounds easy but it usually isn’t
Most the time you don’t realize the ‘situation’ that you’re in until
it seems there is no turning back
And then it’s oh shit! What the fuck happened??
Where did my rainbow go? Or whatever symbolizes happiness to you.
Then let go of whatever shit is causing so much misery.
Say your peace and leave it!
Can I get an Amen and Hallalluah!
Draw whatever point you want from this
Just remember that the world is not here to be controlled
and don’t let anyone or anything do that to you

    Don't leave if you gave joint custody though..shit could REALLy hit the fan :P..Important to make time to be spontaneous for sure. Sometimes you have to stick with something, and make the best of it... thats really hard for me.

    I've been told I'm bi-polar...still waiting for the manic episode so I can clean the house and get a bunch of baking done:P. Forgiving one's self allows for one to use that energy elsewhere, as well as honestly making amends...
