Swings

I feel happy today.
<->
Fuck the world.


I'm so sick of this.
<->
Please let me have more.


I've never felt so alive!
<->
Kill me, please.


Just go away.
<->
Never leave.


Why am I trying?
<->
I'm so proud of myself.


Does anyone care?
<->
I'm loved so much...


I don't want to be here.
<->
I'm in love with life.


I don't want to wake up.
<->
Good morning, day, glad you're here again.


I'm nothing.
<->
I have it all.


I'll never care.
<->
I love endlessly.


I believe in forever.
<->
Forever's a lie.


I think disturbing thoughts.
<->
I like how my mind works.


I feel depressed today.
<->
I can't stop smiling.


Am I insane?
<->
I'm perfect after all.


I'll never forget this.
<->
What happened, again?


I can mean everything to you.
<->
I'm your worst nightmare.


I go back and forth.
<->
I'm always right here.

Author notes

A friend read this for me and got confused, so I'll say right now, YES, each stanza is meant to contradict itself. A fine piece of catharsis for a contest prompting me to "scream my soul" in a poem, which I think this does...unfortunately, I lost...still a good poem though.
