Forgive Me

forgive me of my mood swings my cloudy mental meanderings though they don't seem at all hazy to me- these intense focused images scrambling through my brain pan the clarity of which drops me to my knees where I hug myself ferociously as if to hold onto the preciousness of living burdened as it may be by the sufferings  of my feeble gentle heart forgive me my love when I am silent and you feel my rejection loudly though I do not speak and when I strike out in my petulant child fits for I am sick with fever brought on by the heat of my anger and I cannot help myself without your steady arm to lean upon forgive me my sweet when I seem to cry endlessly for no reason apparent to you it's just the jagged pieces of my heart forever mending or when I cannot sleep- it's only because if I don't stay awake the rats will come to gnaw on my fingers and toes and forgive me my dear if I burst out into mad hysterical laughter rather suddenly and unbidden- it's just my soul trying to get free of me and I will forgive you  when you say I've lost my mind for it's really my keenly felt awareness which makes me of the most sensitive kind i

Additional Notes:
This is about depression again and I didn't use caps here for the feeling of the constant stream of consciousness sort of madness that I felt at the time. This is one of my older works again---thanks so much for reading guys!!:)
