Bipolar Everlasting Shadows creep And cast their shape Consuming all hope Through and through Frozen in an odd awareness Paralyzed. What can i do? When all my time and energy In a second, aren't enough The shadows lurk and find me They swallow all my progress up Lost again, a tangled mess I can't ever kill The Beast! I thought I found the ray of light But on my weakness It did feast So I sit inside these closing walls They come in closer and confines me I stop thinking I'll get better My mental illness will define me I won't reach for more or dream again Just a dead end road for me Why even try or learn again If this is my fate to be?
