Insanity is only one's
opinion of another.
Just because normal does
not relate in ones world
does not mean insanity.
Staying up all night and
sleeping all day is related
to depression.
But when sleep never comes
and days keep passing, with
eyes bugged out, it is insane.
Eating till vomiting now is
a sickness of not wanting to
be fat.
When really it is related to
insanity.
Combing ones bed while making it,
can be normal, if there is hair
in the bed.
Insane thoughts that were just
mentioned, can be described as
insane.
But what other way do you get the
hair out of the bed?
Smearing ones filth all over the
place and thinking it is art,
can be insane.
Then again it can be art.
This empty fast moving world
with all holding on,
is insane to me.
I would love to just let go
if only for a little bit of time.
My thoughts are insane like,
yet I still think insanity is
one that is completely abnormal.
Then again what is normal,
who writes these things or
calculates normal?
If insanity is lost and gone
from one's mind and soul,
dangerous and harmful to ones
self, then normal can be placed
correctly within this form.
Now if my poem sounds confusing
and insane, does that make one
full of insanity?
Who are you to say what is
real and not, when I know
where I am in my mind.
Author notes
I wanted to have a conversation discussing insanity. Making one a bit confused within the poem. Not making sense. For someone that is insane will talk in circle's, leading the conversation nowhere. Or leave it very thought provoking. Insanity is the most lonely place on earth.

Well, it's not a solid option number, but just because I'm nice I'll except it anyway.

The general definition of insanity is confusing to me in many aspects. I like the approach of this write. I agree with you what is insanity? Who can tell what is insanity and what is not? Also another valid thing, doing something may not be insane, but then again it may be (like the art you mentioned or combing the bed). Especially with cleanliness (i.e. if the bed is covered in DOG hairs) that's normal. With the world coming into new ABSTRACT art then it may not be so weird. So, what on earth are we doing? Don't start me on this topic I'll start ranting!

Reminded me of someone who once had been in an institution and got out, he was with us at a party and someone said they thought he was a nutter, he said he had a paper to prove he was sane and could we we produce one too? I fell about laughing, just goes to show what is insane? No one has the right to judge it unless we have the paper that tells us it is so. Love, C

everything is relative...there are varying ways of looking at things...talking 'around in circles' hmmm, lawyers do that, lol...come to think of it, yea..they just may be insane...good luck
-
wow
THIS WAS A THOUGHT PROVOKING WRITE IT FLOWED VERY WELL AND VERY INFORMITIVE AS WELL NICE JOB AND GOOD LUCK ON THE CONTEST BUT ONE LAST THING NORMAL IS OVERRATED
-
hmmmmm....
definately makes you think....otherwise i am not quite sure what to say. i think where you use "ones" it should be "one's".
anyhow i think you met the goal you left written in your author notes...and yes it must be one of the most lonliest places on earth. -
confusing..uh
this poem is very good actually...but you know my thought of insane is normal...so ur right who is to say what is really normal... i like this one!
