If I'm not, I am

If I'm not mad I am sad

If I'm not sad I am glad

If I'm not glad I am down

If I'm not down I am up

If I'm not up I am tired

If I'm not tired I am energetic

If I'm not energetic I am paralytic (with fear)

If I'm not paralyic I am confident

If I'm not confident I am negative

If I'm not negative I am positive

If I'm not positive I am insane

If I'm not insane I am plain/tame/sane

If I'm not plain/tame/sane I am insane

If I'm not insane I am positive

If I'm not positive I am negative

If I'm not negative I am confident

If I'm not confident I am paralytic (with fear)

If I'm not paralytic I am energetic

If I'm not energetic I am tired

If I'm not tired I am up

If I'm not up I am down

If I'm not down I am glad

If I'm not glad I am sad

If I'm not sad I am mad

What the hell is fair-to-middling again?

What the hell is a happy medium again?

When does this cyclic madness end?

When does this helter-skelter end?
