Insanity,
We all live with it in the deepest parts of our minds.
Wrapped up twisted in thoughts of so many kinds.
Questioning and pondering every step that we take.
Creating illusions wondering if we're dreaming or even awake.
Is it illusion and fantasy?
Or delusion and insanity?
Can we control what our minds desire?
Can we control the burning fire?
Can we balance the truth from fiction?
Can we dissolve this painful infliction?
Insanity wont get the best of me.
I'll bring it to its goddamn knees.
I'll stand tall and stare it in the face.
Crush it and destroy it and put it in its place.
The insanity that lives within my rage.
Will start a new chapter and I must turn the page.
Wake up from what is not real.
Close the envelope and lick the seal.

ITS NICE
its a nice write. filled with lots of emotions. i like the picture in the begining. it makes me think of a warped mind and just the pain and emotions that someone is going through -
I like it, and I feel very similarly to you. The only thing I would change is the repetition of illusion in the fifth and sixth lines. Great poem, thank you.

You describe what we all face.Those deep dark thoughts of rage.They get us nowhere and serve to destroy all that we hold dear.Thankyou for sharing, Ros

I love how it goes from a...darker (if thats the word I want?) to a more hopeful piece..and more than hopeful it was like saying "F you" to insanity, "I'm gonna win in the end." i liked that.
Thanks for entering!
Cheers,
