Thoughts they spin round my mind
Leaving me dizzy and nauseous
Constant bursts of creativity
Gone as quickly as they come
Promising a bright new future
But only leaving me wanting
Dazed, befuddled, and heartbroken

I see vast landscapes
Creatures of imagination
Beautiful beyond description
But I cannot draw them for you
I cannot tell you in words
What they mean to me
These characters of mine

This creative concoction
Brings me down so far
Into a sickening madness
Hours upon hours I lay
Trying to calm the storm
But I cannot find a peace
Until I can right my mind

Crashing and burning
My dreams constantly churning
Passions seems to come and go
Suddenly and urgently to and fro
But there is only one constant
The moonlight beckons me to a calm
The sickening madness to subside

Still I fall into darkness
Time after time for hours
Laying in a dreary mood
Wondering if I’ll ever succeed
In sharing my world with others
Will it ever make sense
What is it I must share?

There are too many details
Too many worlds to explore
Too many stories to tell
Too many secrets to bare
It all exists inside my head
And now I have become lost
And sick with a trembling madness
