Insanity

Insanity

A Poem by CrumbsInMyBed
"

Just felt a little silly and am giving poetry a try today...

"
The same as you not long ago
Walk down the street, went with the flow
Tried to be anyone but me
Forgot who it was I was trying to be
It wasn't long, I became confused
But it's alright, there was nothing to lose
I could just become someone new
Hell, I'm sure once I was even you
My mind would not correctly function
I even lost the ability to rhyme
I had disappeared
The real me was gone
I tried reporting a missing person
The laughed in my face; unbelieving
Locked me away in a small white room
Thought I was crazy
Well, maybe I am
Until I'm found I'll just let you think
This humorous look on my face you see
Formed by the loss of sanity

A somewhat humorous ode to insanity and mental illness. I really enjoyed this poem, though it would have been nice to see this structured more chaotic as a representation of the degradation and crumbling of the mind due to insanity.

Still a very good poem. Good Job, Crumbsy! ;)

I like this very much. Reminds me of, “I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.”

You caused my heart to joyously skip a beat by bringing up Poe. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Gee
Like this. I was lost in a constant weekend drunken haze from the ages of 17 to 22....my I was a sorry state.
Any ways that was many moons ago, Love cured me completely in my late twenties
