    I plunge through twisted briars
a frightented hare within my heart
  beating, beating, scant a breath
 within my chest
                   heaving, heaving
icy pangs within my chest
  flames behind my eyes
 scorching, searing my sanity

Why?

   "Why ask why?"
       I hear them scream
yet slurred of speech
   they still scream
 in cyclic patterns
                             within my mind
    clockwise and counter
            spinning in pattern
still screaming at me
  in slurred speech
         from thickened tongues
sweat breaks out upon my brow
   ears ringing a maddening dirge

"Stop screaming at me!!!

   The wind strips my words
          leaving nothing
as still they scream
    more frantic, more slurred
 faces of friends frowning, revolving
  screaming
                  I can't awaken
   still they scream
leering closer, some recede
  Be still my mind
          silence the ravings
   I've had for life
but can I leave
        what I've grown up knowing
  to be true yet false
I dare not ask
     for I can't hear questions
above the screams

What do you mean, this is your mentality??? It could describe mine as well-great job, Alicat.

Thanks JennyLee.

Elizabeth...thanks for the reply. This was written some time back in one of my rare manic moments. :-P

Well done indeed, I however have rare moments of non-manicity... (wonder if that's a word!)
