GO van GOGH! 

The highs and lows of manic depression 

moments of brilliance 

coupled with the inability to tie one's own shoes 

without completely losing patience 

racing thoughts 

no hunger 

can't sleep 

can't remember what day it is 

incessant need to organize 

overwhelmed by all the papers 

all the books 

walking fast

talking fast 

forgetting important things 

developing many plan Bs 

if you can't find it 

develop another plan 

strangely, it feels like you've broken through 

Photos 

a cocoon 

suddenly you remember everything 

you ever wanted to do in life 

develop a sixth sense 

a very accurate sixth sense 

no inhibitions 

breaking through the river 

between consciousness and subconsciousness 

Integrating the two spheres 

hard to comprehend 

frightening and confusing 

but also breathtaking ! 

somehow you can now communicate with 

your subconscious self 

manic depression 

can motivate a person to live up to their 

full potential 

can awaken a person -- internally and externally 

manic depression 

can also bring out a person's worst attributes 

overly-aggressive, dark and ugly 

van Gogh suffered immeasurably from his illness 

tried to resolve his conflicting emotions 

through his paintings 

A BRILLIANT MADNESS ! 

many geniuses have suffered from this illness 

evidence of their brilliance 

can be found in lyrics 

works of art 

drama 

television 

advertising 

Van Gogh left his mark 

but alas 

he succumbed to the brilliant madness 

died at a very young age 

wrestled with his demons and lost 

BUT before he went 

he painted a portrait of himself 

and Mona Lisa 

what i suspect he was trying to say 

is that even though he didn't 

make it in his lifetime 

he is hell-bent on coming back 

in another vessel 

in another shell 

he will finish what he started 

van gogh's spirit will never die 

In fact, i think he lives in our midst today 

just a matter of time before he makes himself 

known to us 

(minus one ear) 

go van gogh 

go van gogh 

go van gogh
