a bipolar life
i shake my head
with great fury
trying to get
your voice
out of it
no use,
so i raise my chin
and prepare
for whatever
is to come next
i cannot see any
action for all the
faith i have in you
but i still believe
we will come to a point
where what we say
is what we mean
and that will be
a tragedy
when we realize
how little there is
to say
when we finally
arrive at it

the winds of this rainbow
surround me with varied
colors falling to the ground
i didn’t want this to break
like that
nothing beautiful should be
sacrificed to the hands of
our dysfunction
rainbows can be rebuilt
you just need the right
amounts of water and light
what we had will not be
as easy
i don’t know what amounts
of anything will be able
to set us right
