It

It comes in bursts

It comes and goes

It lifts you up

And it lets you float

It lifts you up

And then it goes again

It steals your sleep

It drugs your day

It throws you down

And then it goes away

It bleeds you dry

It brings you death

It throws you down

And then it gives you breath

It slits your throat

It gives you rain

It drives you mad

And it keeps you sane

It clears your eyes

It masks your face

It guides your way

And it takes up space

And it won’t let go

Until the end

It won’t show light

Until the final bend
