High, Low
Have you ever once felt
That the world was
Pitted against you?
Have you knelt
Down, and cried
your heart out?
Have you ever dropped
So low
That you feel you can never get up again?
Have you ever propped
One hand on your head
And smiled?
Did you know
That the world loved you
And never wanted you to be sad?
Did you ever go
And sing just to sing
Because you knew that you were treasured?
Did you ever feel any emotions between?
Some sadness, some happiness
Maybe some neutrality?
Well, I haven't
Not once have I ever felt
Neutral, or anything other
Than soaring happiness
And crushing depression.
My world is built
Upon half a golden throne
And half the sludge of hell.
There is no gray,
No none at all,
Not for me,
And all of my
Highs
And lows.
Is this normal?
Is it real?
Am I fixable?
Or trapped
And concealed?
My life was average,
It was all okay,
I was loved and hated,
I had friends and enemies,
And I felt happy.
Don't ask me when it all started,
I wouldn't know,
But all I can tell you,
Is that something changed.
I was noticing things,
Not much really,
Just that I was happy all the time.
That's not bad,
Right?
That's when things changed again.
Someone said something,
To my face
Or behind my back,
