Manic

My mind is manic

It's mostly manic

But they don't understand it

They say it's damaged

I mostly panic

I'm mostly frantic

Extremely anxious

I'm full of angst

I'm feeling blue

In different hues

I write like Langston

Hoping that the thoughts would dissipate

I’m feeling blue

My mind is manic

They think I'm different because I choose not to participate

And my mind is manic

I mean kind of manic

I see a spectrum

It’s mostly blues

I like the patterns

I didn't plan this

I'm not different

I just like patterns

I just like patterns

My mind takes license plates

And makes up stories

I just like patterns

And I compartmentalize well

Thoughts locked away

Boy in blue

I isolate my thoughts

My mind's a cabin

You can enter if you'd like a vacation

My mind's a cabin

Get out if it gets kind of a dark tone

My minds a cavern

Hope you don't mind

But mine is manic

The Bridge is, well, the relational environment in which we experience psychosocial safety or psychosocial strain. And how we adapt to that is a representation to how successfully we develop at every subsequent section of the bridge.
