I often have mood swings
My mind in a fog
Wondering how get out
And start moving the cogs
For my brain it shuts down
I closet myself in my bed
Sleeping it off
These mood swings I most dread
Usually brought on by anxiety
Feelings I've not done enough
Like I've let someone down
This guilt I feel is real tough
On medication for depression
But still easily triggered
Often a word or a look
And all my issues seem bigger
At times I will vent
At this helplessness I feel
Almost climbing the walls
I stomp and I squeal
Should anyone see me
They'd think I'm a fool
She's right off her rocker
Needs to play life more cool
Still I can't help these mood swings
That at times rule my life
But I try to keep silent
But they can cut, as sure as a knife
