I'm rolling on the laughing floor,
bewaring life and limb.
Its smiles and giggles
have teeth and lips,
and it's intoxicating
but I must get away.

The windows are all weeping,
filling the mouths of the floor slowly
as I begin to float,
going still
as the grief surrounds me
and chokes out
all prior hilarity.

I'm bobbing in the windows' tears,
thrashing
then floating
then thrashing again.
It won't be long
before the floor swallows it all;
before the laughter returns to me.

Oh yeah, did I ever mention that I'm almost absolutely sure I'm bipolar? I just hate doctors, and swore I would not see another until my current (though year old) medical issue is resolved. :P So be they head doctors or otherwise, I don't care. 'Sides, it'd be less exciting if I actually knew what was wrong with me.

Oh, 'thanks for taking the challenge', huh?

So what does that mean? *kiss* Good or bad?

I tried this challenge, and I was defeated by it. (all I could come up with were a few vague memories of mushrooms) and NOW...totally intimidated.

This is great, and it actually helped me to find a fresh angle that was not strictly drug-induced. (I'd FORGOTTEN about my natural tendency to madness!

)

Hugs you...perhaps I'll try again..thanks.

I'm gonna hafta look up the challenge. Because the only reply that seems to fit is, "The colors, the colors"
I was gonna say I'm too old for that. But actually, I'm just old enough, and other people are too young to know what I mean. Sigh.

Ah, those Ricochet Days…welcome to reality. Now I’ve got that song running through my head. Lol. I think we all go through those periods….high to low, then back again.

Wow, someone caught into the title!

You so rock. I've had it stuck in my head for more than 48 hours now; I'm sure I even dream it! Does funky things to yr brain.

Anyway, thanks, all.

I've decided this challenge thing might be fun. My poetic writer's block is lying in mangled pieces on the floor. Now I just wish the same would happen with my stories!
