Insanity

Insanity

A Poem by Carolann Dowsett
"

I wrote this after going to the city, there was one particular man there who seemed completely lost in madness. This came to me.

"

Insanity, insanity

gets in my brain

Insanity, insanity

drives me insane

 

Mutterings and murmurings

over again

when will this craziness

ever end

 

How did I get here

alone in the dark

The world looks so bleak

so cold and so stark

 

Once I knew love

I had found the one

But now I am nothing

but a homeless bum

 

It was the drugs that did it

they messed with my mind

sent my neurotransmitters

spinning out of time

 

Now I live in confusion

nothings the same

This bloody insanity

Has made me insane

I think this is my favorite poem of yours! I loved the rhyming and just the whole thing was great! :D
'this bloody insanity, has made me insane' Those ones were like the statement of the whole poem! Maybe because it's the last part, but it stood out the most! Great job!

Addicts are everywhere. From the look in their eyes, you can obviously see that they took drugs. People always avoid them thinking that they're out of their minds and since they're under the influence of drugs, they tend to do crazy things. Just like what you've written, bad consequences happen to them leading them to depression. This poem made me think of those people and they should read this before they involve themselves in something more dangerous than drugs. I hope you write more of this and thank you for sharing!

Ohh, I love the rhymes in this one. Made it an easy, enjoyable read. This poem reminds me of a character in a book I just finished reading. He muttered and mumbled and was very confused (and yes, insane) Nice work!

There are many like that living without hope...so sad. Some choose to live like that, others are pushed into it. Drugs, mental illness, high cost of living...it can be a harsh world out there. Nice write.:)

Ees
Nice repetition usage. I think that it applies to being insane in many ways. Repeat.

I don't know that drugs can make one insane, but then again, I've seen it with my own eyes...

I am not sure how I feel about the single reference to the "one". It doesn't seem to apply to the rest of the piece if you know what I mean. There is so much repetition that the "one" seems to stick out as not belonging.
'

I could be totally off base though.
Overall really nice work.'
Great job!
