Now that it's in me, I can't get it out.
Spreading through my veins,
tearing across my organs,
burning me from my chest outward

It starts as a beat
A pulse
And a thought makes it pound

Just when I think I can carry on
It hits me once again
And any chance of a quiet mind,
some sort of semblance,
is shattered

This pain
joy
intensity
I don't know what to do with it

or without it

It hurts
It pulls away my sanity
it makes me sick and sore

I don't want to eat
I don't need to sleep

But I'll die if it goes away

The pounding is new to me
beautiful
What I never knew existed
And it makes me cry

And laugh in the next moment

I'm right side up at last
It could have been poison
But it's turned out to be the cure

Now that it's in me, I can't get it out


-----------------------------

That probably sounds sad, but really, it's very happy.
