I don’t really write poetry, I haven’t had lessons in it since I was at school. But last night i was awake at 3 am and I jotted down my thoughts in the notes section of my phone. This morning I shuffled them around a bit and this is the result…..

Hypomania
Awake in the night
Thoughts keep coming in neon lights
No need for sleep no use for food
Energy is endless
High on my mood.
Reaching new heights
The future looks bright
How long can this last?
Plans to make
Ideas multiply thick and fast.
Look at me here
I don’t feel any fear
Happiness radiates
Music is talking
Chest is alive and heart pulsates.
Facts to devour
Nuclear power
Quicksilver mood
Dress is bold
Pure gold taking hold
Say ‘It’s enough’
Keep myself grounded
Tied to my roots
Routine is important
Emotions are loud
Roars in my ears
Adrenaline surges
Cortisol flows
Can’t feel my fingers
Skin is fizzing
Feet on the ground
Head in the clouds.
Feel love more than before
Phone, text, it’s good to talk
Keep running forever
Feet tap out a walk
Helter skelter
Fairground attraction
Fireworks and atmosphere
All the bright stars
Meteor shower
Awake at three
Write thoughts day and night
The rides
The tides
Hold on tight
Birdsong is louder
Goodbye inhibitions
Talk to a stranger
New ambitions
Make everything right
Thinking of others
Ideas taking flight
Get up and go
Everythings easier
Plans multiplying
A tap I can’t stop
Happiness ending
Wave arms about
It ends with a crash
Flight aborted
Over and out.
