Insanity

Missing image

Walking insanity in hospital aisles for many miles,
counting the floor,  many cracks and tiles.
Disassociation has been for me a survival tool,
not even knowing that bi-polar in my mind did rule.

Never have wanted anyone to know that I was truly mad,
I hid in many of aisles so no one would see, so very sad.
Paranoia for me that anyone would truly know my mind,
there is an extreme amount of insanity within I do find.

Thank God I now know this is just a fractional part of me,
miles of madness with insanity this I try to accept and truly see.

    i do like a poem that rhymes, and that is short - as i find it hard to write short poetry - and this incorporates both. Well done, lovely take on bi-polar and the picture is great too, thank you for entering

    Simply wonderful to say the least!
    The picture adds a lot to this but whats great about this piece is that even though you included a picture, you really didn't need it because the imagery created a mental picture all of it's own!
    Great job!
    thanks for entering and good luck!

    awwwwwwwwwwwww

    Madness and me are best buddies at times. I am also very good with disassociation if needed. A coping tool I learned from childhood abuse. I pray for you all the time that your heart will be healed. God bless you, Mark

    Cute take on a tough subject. I like the idea that madness could be just a 'fractional' part of who one is. Well done on the topic line.

    You Are On A Roll...

    today..I cannot keep up with you it seems. You have opened the door to insanity here in terms of letting other's see and read about what it feels like from a personal standpoint. I cannot even imagine dealing with all that you have and remaining sane!!! Thanks for such insight into insanity and bringing awarenss and education from your own experience. Thanks for sharing!!!~~Toni~~
