I Could Not Stop Crying
I could not stop crying
No idea why
Sobbing and shaking
Horrified at myself
I am usually manic
I am great at manic
Manic is my go-to-place
I LOVE being manic
I had been going strong for three days
No sleep needed.
Writing poems, painting pictures,
Playing with my dogs
I never put it together
Because I had never been sobbing, keening, wailing me before
I am on Lithium now
It is working
I hope that it always works
I never want to go to the dark place again
A place I never understood,
A place from which I might not return
