Manic | Depressive
two sides to one picture
moving, constantly moving
meant to outrun the fear
she stops only when forced
to breathe
in and out
in and out
motion becomes her
stagnant, insidiously stagnant
meant to hold the fear
he moves only when forced
to breathe
in and out
in and out
inertia defines him
two sides to one picture
torn minds from one place
lost youth searching for time
gone to the past
gone from the path
someone, somewhere
in the picture
from the place
at that time
took it
took the trust
took the love
took the breath
from the two
motion and inertia
manic and depressive
a brother
stuck in fear
and a sister
running from it
