Go Van Gogh
David Gray

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


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
