INSANITY

My heart is a sprinkler but my mind is hollow
My lips wish no harm but my eyes hold secrets

My legs try to run but my arms are limp
My cheeks want to smile but my throat is constricted

My stomach is healed but my back is shredded
My blood is sunlit but my bones are moonlit

My life is loved but my sanity is my enemy
My humanity is intact but my soul is detached

*And if I die before I wake,
I pray the lord, my soul to take.
