Goodbye, sanity, you were a friend
But now I fear madness is around the bend.
Goodbye, sanity, I used to need you
But you've started controlling everything I do.
Goodbye, sanity, what will happen to me?
Giving you up is freedom's ultimate key.
Goodbye, sanity, I'll miss you when you're gone.
It'll be strange, it'll be different, to of you have none.

Oh my, I watched my sanity leave many years ago.
I'm kidding, but there are times I still want to write a poem like this, especially while at work and the job is bogging me down.

LOL -
Very humorous write, you handled it well, and I didn't feel that the rhymes were forced in any section of it;
I'm sure we've all felt like this at one point or another but you captured the thoughts so perfectly - great job!
Thanks for entering
-
clever rhythming here, well penned. Liked the flow, and... by the way, you can't say goodbye to your sanity when you never had it!
Just kidding. Well done, keep it up.

Short but good it really makes me think good job thats not an easy thing to accomplish to make me think bout a persons poem cause i usually get where they are coming from but i have really no idea where u are coming from. Good work.
-
The poem is short and full of insanity and well, life. I do like the catch of this.
However, I will not judge this poem unless you remove it from the either two contests you've entered.
Best of luck

This was an amzing read. You have such talent and control over your words. I enjoyed reading this so much and it includes so much beauty and truth in it. Best of luck in the contest.
Much love

This is cool.
The rhyme is great all the way through.
I like the thoughts that this one provokes.
And I loved the line "Giving you up is freedom's ultimate key."
Certainly made me think!

You rhym really well, except the last two lines.
It's really good, it seems as if there's an unknown message to it.
It all depends on how you look at it.
Good Job!
