Finding the feelings with fear in these bi-polar times,
Shutting down mortified and hungry
Climbing down that hole again and then
Trying to claw back up
Numb to the walk, the way of life
All these feelings come at one time

Accepted, rejected, acknowledged, ignored,
Appreciated, wanted, loved, bored
Resentful, bitter, desired, hated
Happy, angry, hurt, frustrated
Safe, secure, afraid, relaxed,
Tense, aware, trapped, taxed
Unsupported, squelched and thwarted,
Hopelessly optimistic

That's me running down the street again
That's me flailing my arms again
That's me howling at the moon again
Shutting down, mortified and hungry

Excited, Insulted, lethargic, lost
Validated, overstated Focused, free, tossed
Nervous, mocked, proud, homely
Disconnected, isolated,loud,lonely
Discouraged, deserving, full,
Disrespected, numb and rejected,
Inertly energetic

That's me running down the street again
That's me flailing my arms again
That's me howling at the moon again
Shutting down, mortified and hungry

That's me chasing down the past again
That's me flailing, feeling cheated again
That's me trying to wash it clean again
Shutting down, mortified and hungry
