What does it mean to call someone insane?
Is it all just another game to play or a joke to be told?
Is it a way to say that someone doesn't belong?
Why is it something that people ridicule and frown upon?
Being insane is not just with the choices that are made
It can be the thoughts that manifest and take over any reason that tries to have the body rest
It's a constant fight between impulses and compulsion
It's not just the voices that flood the brain like everyone is so quick to say
This is a concept that eats at a person until they decay
To be eaten alive by the things you have no courage to say
Will it be worth it in the end?
Is this pain worth the suffering that will be left?
This is not a clinically proven degree of a person that is called insane
It is not a mental illness that can be shown on any screen
This is insanity at its finest hour
These are the feelings that brim over the edge looking for a new way to escape
This is a person that has fallen so deep into darkness that it will be impossible to bring them back from
They have fallen into an abyss of emotional damage
The lies that have been told to them throughout their whole life
Then the remembrance of the physical trauma that was projected onto them
Is it because they reflected someone that haunted them in the past?
Or was this a person that reflected themselves and they wanted to destroy themselves within this surrogate
Was it not enough that the pain is reflected on their face?
Their eyes are darker than a raven
Why couldn't these feelings just made them feel jaded instead of faded in the fact that this pain has become the fuel for this break
Many may think that they are crazy
But it is the pain that has taken over their soul
The vengeance that has clouded their mind whispering plans
And the rage that has brought them into this state
This is what we call insanity
This is the one thing that does not have a cure
Be aware of the people that harvest this pain
The ones that enjoy loathing in revenge
These are the people that were the kindest of souls
But were broken until there was nothing more
They are not insane but carry more pain than a person can ever bare
But the plans they want to achieve are the pure definition of insanity
