I am Insane

 I am Insane.

This is the only thing in my life that I am one hundred percent positive.

I can look someone in the eyes and tell them I love them knowing that they will never love me the same, and be perfectly fine.

When I am in the pit of anger, so deep in it that I’m sure my thoughts alone should get me arrested, I laugh. I laugh a laugh so deep and boisterous that I have to stop and question my sanity once more.

In the same instance I can think of all the ways I could love a person and they could love me, and then realize that they might cheat on me and realize that the love another person more. And I can be okay.

I have no intentions of ever loving again and then think maybe I could give it one more try, while telling a guy he has no chance.

And that last reason why I KNOW I am insane is because I can love myself. More than the moon loves the stars, more than the birds love to fly across the sunrise. I can love myself so much that I tell a silent joke in my confused mind and laugh so hard that tears fall. I can dance and sing and be confident with myself, so confident that no matter how broken I am I will always lend a hand to others. And no other sane person has ever attempted to love me the way I love myself.

I dance by myself and I tell myself and remind myself how beautiful I look to myself as I sleep or as I pour out my feelings on a laptop.

But only an insane person can love another insane person.

And this is how I know I am Insane and completely happy with it.

A beautiful and hopeful poem.
"I dance by myself and I tell myself and remind myself how beautiful I look to myself as I sleep or as I pour out my feelings on a laptop."
I agree. Need another person with same visions and dreams to know happiness. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

thank you so much! im a firm believer that you have to genuinely fall in love with yourself before ever learning to love someone else, and i hoped this poem expresses that because i have learned to be okay with not completely knowing who i am but to be happy with myself. i have to learn my ins and outs and everything in betweens and fall madly in love with it all. xxx

I am so glad! I have seen so much people just so sad with themselves and it gets ME down as well because if you can not be happy with your self who can you be happy with? you must be your own savior. xxx
