Madness

There is madness
Inside me
You cannot catch
Escaping your bitter taste
I bow to your uppity nose
Touching the ceiling
Of the Cathedral's Dome
Your light touch
On heavy chains
Carves hideous cuts
Budding in my
Decaying guts
You storm in
Like the queen
Fibrillating my heart
To stop it from
Beating hard

Enjoyable read. The imagery is quite vivid and the layout / structure makes me feel as though I'm trying to catch my breath after an anxiety attack. Yet somehow, against all odds, I am still defiant. To me it strikes as empowering. Thank you for writing.

This sounds like a teen with borderline personality disorder trying to fathom and navigate a relationship with her mother. Given, that is a difficult venture to undertake without any "madness" included. I was diagnosed with bi-polar as a young teen and I've suffered from PTSD since. It's a roller coaster of highs and lows with no reason. So I have great sympathy and a deep personal understanding of "madness". I enjoyed your poem and encourage you to keep up the great writing. Writing poetry for me is very cathartic and an outlet for bursts of manic creativity. It's said that, "music soothes the savage beast". Poetry, likewise, helps many deal with their personal demons. Blessings of peace, love and light, F.

Madness is everywhere in everyone ☺️ I have been fighting anorexia and anxiety and I do understand mental issues we all might have, just their different forms. Thank you for your reflection and keep fighting downs and suspend ups in the air
