Mania

Hyperactive elation and hot rapture,
Excited clench of hands, rubbed over psyche,
Does depressively and belatedly capture,
Desired object in framed mentality,
Motivated by day notion of happy magic,
Brainwave bouncing along to cheered neuron,
Such minds wasteful of productive plus pragmatic,
Maniacal brainstorm is calamity cast from,
Counteractive serotonin privation,
Accelerating synaptic syndrome,
Body shuddering in horripilation,
As maximum overdrive spins up and kicks home,
Twist of mortal glee, altering reality,
For the hearts of men are held by fantasy.
