I Can Fly (Maybe!)

I must be my imagination

Making me think this way

All of a sudden, I feel euphoric

Got a big smile on my face today

Imagine that I think I can fly

Not in the usual way

All together different in a crazy kind of way.

Taking off into the breeze

Instantly I fly

Oh my God, I’ve just jumped off the roof

Not going to be a very good day 😒😒

[Author's note: An Acrostic poem for Ellie's challenge. If you have ever dealt with someone suffering from bipolar disorder, one of the sad aspects of this affliction is that when they have a manic attack, they become euphoric, believing they can do the unnatural. Jumping off a roof because they think they can fly is something a manic person would imagine in their mind.]

Till next time,

Calvin
