CACOPHONY

Is there someone much like me:

Synapses electrically askew;

an underdeveloped amygdala and

rapid cycling moods. No balance.

I wonder if those voices I hear

are familiar to another too.

Not commands or suggestions..

a cacophony that my head can't turn off.

Several at once - sometimes I strain

to discern the conversation. It's always inane

but disturbing because I know it involves me.

I'm not on mescaline, LSD or even paranoid...

Perhaps the hippie drugs would clarify the whole thing.

I have lost hope in being understood

When my behavior is erratic, it's because

I'm bipolar.

Did you know this greatly compromises your credibility?
