Bleeding Thoughts

My experience with Bipolar mania.

Bleeding Thoughts

 

Furiously and feverishly I scribble my thoughts

Faster and faster they race; marching across the page

I never alter or edit

Streams of consciousness in a free-for-all

I write well into the night

An escape from the mental debates

That leave me questioning the validity of my every idea

So many truths, some conflicting, written on every page

An exercise in immortalizing thoughts that would otherwise expire

Proposed in prose and flows

Definitions remain flexible and forgivable and unforgettable

I try to leave time for review and reflection

Though mostly I find flying and fleeting thoughts

Demanding the attention of my pen

Never enough time to be thinking the same things again

Ink is the blood of my thoughts; paper their eternal box

I cannot decide if writing releases or enslaves

I must think both, because that is what I wrote

Beyond that I will save my considerations for a new page

As my pen flies and my thoughts race

Beautiful haunting imagery! Scribbling thoughts: mad rush to reflect and let go. "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed." - Ernest Hemingway

Wow beautiful description of what I believe it means to you. You must write many pieces with that approach and if this is anything to go buy then they must be quality. Well written
