feels incomplete.

Sanity finally kills itself 

    because it yearned to be an assassin.

Your poem is a thought-provoking and intriguing exploration of the concept of sanity and its relationship to violence and aggression. The idea of sanity yearning to be an assassin is a striking and powerful metaphor that speaks to a sense of inner turmoil and conflict. The notion that sanity finally kills itself is a poignant reminder of the destructive nature of violence and the ways in which it can ultimately lead to self-destruction. The imagery of yearning and longing is evocative and speaks to a sense of desire and desperation. Overall, your poem is a powerful and thought-provoking reflection on the complexities of the human psyche and the ways in which our desires and impulses can lead us down dark and dangerous paths.

Thanks so much for such a thoughtful feedback. Glad my piece resonated with you.

Wow, interesting and even made me laugh a little,
100.

[moog-drika]

Thanks so much for the praise. So glad to know it made you laugh :D

[light and ashes]

Lol, it did..
I can occasionally laugh at dark humor....
I found this writing to be clever and witty..as well as kind of brilliant and masochistic/self destructive.
All in all, I liked very much.

Surely both sanity and insanity can be killers of self or others? Sanity can find excuses for war for instance; the other can believ e death is yet another movie.

Your words are incredibly strong, they nudge thought. Near ask for one to come down on one said or another.. if it's possible. Writing in any form is or can be a prompt

Thank you so much for the praise and your thought-poking comment on my piece. You're absolutely right! Both sanity and insanity can have their dangerous sides.
I'm really glad my words made you ponder and come up with an interpretation.

This is what I love doing. I always say that I prefer leaving my poetry open to interpretation over having a definitive stance. The more the meanings my pieces will have, the more they become a kaleidoscope of thoughts and the more interesting it becomes. Thanks again.

Straight up dope. Goals can be dangerous. The title is another layer.

[moog-drika]

Indeed, goals can be a double-edged sword. Thanks so much for the praise. Means a lot :D

[Sami Khalil]

You portray sanity as a mental disease that eventually becomes increasingly insane and kills itself. Bravo on the twist of notions.

[moog-drika]

This is quite a stimulating take on the piece. Honestly loved your interpretation. Thanks so much.

There’s nothing sane about yearning to be an assassin. A thought provoking piece of brevity. Happy new year moog-drika.
