Couldn't get out of bed this morning.
Voices from the beast
within my head say
"why try"?
In bed all day.
No shower.
No bath.
No food.
Sipping on same water
that sat there yesterday.
Sleep.
Sleep.
Sleep.
Suddenly at 213AM
the voices turned on me.
I cleaned the entire house
and did all the laundry.
I wrote letters to friends
I haven't talked to in months.
6AM I made pancakes, eggs, bacon,
and homefries for breakfast.
614AM...again they turned.
I put all the food in
the garbage disposal
and fed the beast within.
Author notes
This is NOT actually how my day went...but...I have had days like this before. I just learned today that there's a name for people who have days like this though... manic depressive. No worries...I am okay right now.
