Insanity

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! ;)

Your insanity does really make a sense for the readers. I enjoyed and also glad that you gave a try to poetry today. It's amazing keep going my friend :)

Thank you so much! Poetry is a rare form of writing for me because it usually end up too long and turned into a short story. On occasion, I can squeeze something half way decent out. :)

lol and that's how lazy writers like me get a chance to read something beautiful and small. Thanks for sharing :)

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.

Like this. I was lost in a constant weekend drunken haze from the ages of 17 to 22....my I was a sorry state.

Love is real good at patching us up. Glad you're out of your haze and back with us. :)
