MANIC

They say I am MANIC
Always in a PANIC
Never SLEEPING, never STOPPING
Always SPENDING, always SHOPPING

Fooling the docs with practiced speech
As my thoughts and actions they try to breach
Are they hallucinations or are they ENTERTAINMENT
My mind always has MUSIC being sent

Many old friends and new ones as well
Inundating me with voices that compel
Helping me, hurting me, trying to trick me
Telling me to DIE to set my soul FREE

Mind atwirl, ever racing
Cleaning, stirring, ever pacing
Laundry, dishes, such is my fate
Organizing, programming, feeling great

Prescriptions were changed, meds not right
For my life, I’m in a fright
Meds are fixed
They’re properly mixed

Or are they…
