MHA Poem 2: Mania

MANIA

All it takes is a beautiful fake smile to hide an injured soul and they will never notice how broken you really are… -Robin Williams

Today, I’m going to skydive into the deepest pit out there: earth.

I’m going to dance in my underwear when I wake up, and sing about reckless abandon and falling in love with strangers on a whim.

I’ll eat leftover pizza from the backseat of the car of a friend I didn’t know belonged to me – we must have met at the last party I drowned my problems away at, singing stupid country songs in short shorts just to make a statement.

I never know what statement I’m going to make from one day to the next.

They call me unpredictable.

Today, I’m going to skydive into the deepest pit out there: earth.

I’m going to kiss girls I don’t like and steal cigarettes from the mouths of boys I like just to let everyone know I’m completely in control – even though the secret is that I’m just chaos running on regret.

I run from one regret to get to the next.

It’s a race I’ll never win.

Today, I’m going to skydive into the deepest pit out there: earth.

I’m going crazy just for the rush.

But why does my adrenaline pump so hard, like I’m manic for more sadness than I already have?

Why am I going skydiving into the deepest pit out there?

I don’t even want to be on this earth.

So what was I thinking when I climbed onto this plane just to jump into it again?
