Patchwork sanity, frayed
at the edges of despair,
unravel silently into the
dreams of yesteryear;
Hopelessly forgotten ideas
scramble with undue haste,
least they should be discarded
mindlessly;
Treasure the moments of
lucidness, embrace the
ticking time of comfort and
happiness as with each
passing of a second comes
doubt and fearfulness;
Mind games played with
deceitfulness hurry to the
fore...anxious for victory,
undisciplined but victorious
in all but the very
foundations of normality;
Naivety tentatively reaches
out into the darkness trying
to regain calm, searching
in vain for that once quiet
moment.

Very Avant-Garde, pensive write poet. Victory shall belong to the valiant make no mistake. I like this freeform that you have penned here, makes one ponder, which is always good. Interesting mind on the other end of this Pen you wield.
