Recognizing it SoonerFast paced thoughts; unfocused to direct, Manic mood swings into effect, A strange sense of humor emerges, While an alarm goes off & converges, It’s okay, I caught myself before too late, I can pause & observe to not escalate, Sure, I feel high & creative, yet at what cost? If not kept in check, there could be so much lost, Cutting myself slack, yet standards of behavior, I awaken to realize, the indicator of a savior, Follow up to be sure the bridges aren’t burning, Each time, I’ll get stronger in what I’m learning, Strengthening the love I want to show, As to not give doubt to the self doubt I know. |
