• I feel the pressure within me rise
    my head feels light but my mind is heavy
    my mental storm rages
    raining thoughts of negativity, anger and sorrow down upon my soul
    to drown in the flood of the moment

    I am rescued by a raft of beautiful sounds
    pulling me from the waters of madness
    saving me from my mindless actions
    and allowing my sanity to flow through me like blood

    when I am calm I see the sky
    brightened beyond the clouds
    and even if I am imagining it I am reminded
    that even though it's rough for now
    everything will clear up again

    and when it does I see the shining sun
    letting me know that things are alright
    the light blinding my eyes and burning my fair skin
    an annoyance so great and persistent
    I am forced not to believe but instead ignore the pain
    I seek the moon in the sky and wait for the sun to set

    the sun goes down and reflects it's softest light from the moon
    I feel its loving beams caress my skin
    I see it without bringing pain to my eyes
    I feel it deliver the calmness that the sun could not bring to me
    I know it will not hurt me like the sun

    I leave its light when I need return to my frail excuse for life
    I enter a room and the light goes on
    irritating my eyes and skin
    telling me that everything will be fine
    I do not believe it until the moon embraces me in its light and tells me so.
