Insanity

How does one know if one is sane? How does one know if one is insane?

       

I know what it feels like,
To have a voice in the
back of my head.
Like a face I hold inside,
A face that awakes when
I close my eyes.

         

“Damn it! How long will I have to put it up with you?”

“Oh! I thought you’re a wise one?
What’s the point of over reacting when you can just ignore me?”

“Cause you’re too much! I don’t know how to handle you anymore. Please leave me alone!”

      

Insanity,
It calls out to me leading
me to a mirror.
Looking into my own eyes
or what seem to be my own.
Are they still mine?

   
             
“Should I kill myself then? Oh! I forgot, myself is yourself!”

“Damn you!”

“I’m not sorry darling, if I lose you lose.”

“You’re just my fucking façade!”

        

An impulse.
Scurrying it’ s way to the
crevasses of my brain
Tainting the walls of my grave,
With the tendency for unpredictability.
It is out of my reach.

       

I hate it, I don’t want it.
I didn’t ask for it.
I can’t slow my mind down.
Thoughts so fast,
Hit me with a whiplash.

        

“It’s Insanity!”

“No! I think of it as a creativity with in me! Insanity resides inside of everybody. Why hide the beautiful individuality in your mind? Shut down the people who hides from the artist inside!”

“Shut down? What do you mean?”

“I know there’s nothing to hide, for I
see inventiveness behinds your eyes darling.”

        
        
And for I hold too much insanity in my sorrowful bones, I submerged in an ocean of faces. I feel trapped. Drowning. Losing my personality, the essence that makes me who I am. Slipping away from my sanity shows my insanity.

INSANITY IS OUR CLARITY AND
SANITY IS DREAMED UP NOTION
FOR NORMALITY.

WHO IS MAD?

IS IT I?

  

       

And with a unique vantage point into the world. My insanity was able to perceive what I couldn't see. So I let it control over my body.
