There Is No Respite

There is always two
Doing this battle inside
Which one will win
Neither one can decide

Over and over again
All this internal chatter
No one could hear
So why would it matter

Those manic highs
Into a depressed state
Moods poles apart
High and low fluctuate

The ups and downs
Its a roller coaster ride
After flying so high
Again there's a flipside

Changing everyday
In another mood swing
There is no respite
From the rapid cycling

Dear Hope, I think many can relate to what you describe here so well. It is difficult to remain untouchable by those "mood tides", but still we should work in that direction, at least to "set us on serenity mode" when the lower extremes are approaching.

Enjoyed your write.

Love,
Margherita
