Darkness emitting rays

Rushing to the fore, and knocking on the door, is the unbridled enthusiasm I’d left forlorn

And I cannot disown the sadness that the world wants me to ignore

And truth be told, it is the ignition that drives me to settle the score

And bridge the gap between those with little and those with more…

More to give, more to live, more to imbue, able to break through the numbness residue,

Left by the artificial landscape constructed to keep the truth out of view

And I’m ready to take up the mantle of self styled sage

And put myself and my vulnerabilities out there on the page

And I can’t be pigeon holed and easily explained

My mind is both troubled and wonderfully arrayed

Bipolar and its stigma is a trade off I must, and am willing to pay

In order to show the world that bliss can be born from pain

And that I can both feel desperate and have faith

So, take the picture that I trace, put together the clues that I display

And behold how darkness can emit rays
