isolation

i isolate myself

and become a tree

so no one can hear

when my mind

splits itself open,

strips the bark

of my façade,

ransacks the terrain

and makes me a wasteland.

in my mind

my mind is a train of thoughts racing and derailing until i’m standing in a fog of forgetfulness.

my mood swings from every branch, high and low. sometimes the branches snap and i land face-first into a puddle of mud. sometimes i reach the heavens.

i become a conveyor belt of creativity and productivity and feel useless when the factory shuts down.

i chase the mania before it leaves town because i know depression is around the corner and i can’t shake myself dry once it has drenched me.

i drown in crying spells i didn’t cast.

i go off my meds because i feel like a zombie or when i foolishly feel cured.

i use sleep as an escape or escape sleep when i’m feeling restless.

i ache to be planted and uprooted from the earth.
