What triggers madness? What is the source? What causes a
Person to go mad?, these are the questions that people wonder
But never care to find out because of the fear that they too will become
Insane or what goes on in the person’s mind and what they’ve been through
So I ask again
What triggers madness? What is the source? What causes a person to go mad?
Well there are numerous reasons
Bad day at school, kids relentlessly pick on you, they beat on you whether it be a
Few or the whole damn class, bad day at work, your boss is yelling at you over
Something you didn’t do, a customer yelling at you because of one tiny mistake you made
But that’s not all, oh no that’s not all, while emotional and physical damage
Maybe good for your insanity, the absolute best is trauma
You see trauma gets underneath your skin, it changes your personality
Some may be a little and unnoticeable and some a lot and tends to make a scene
You may be asking, what is trauma?, well lets see
Being alone for so many years no ones talking to you no ones likes you
Every one fears you because your too quiet or “weird” or something
Neglectful parents, mother is beating on you, cussing you out, father is constantly looking
At you funny touching you in places that shouldn’t be touched, then one day the worse
Happens and he forces himself on you, your boyfriend or husband beating on you, calling
You names and putting you down, your girlfriend or wife using you for
Your things, or to get her ex jealous or just flat out cheating on you
Most people in your family that don’t know you and could care less
Whether your alive or dead
A person who you thought was your friend uses you for your things and gets mad when You refuse
These are the example but they don’t just cause madness automatically
Even though all those things happen to you don’t just unleash your anger
You bottle it in because you don’t want to trouble anybody or you don’t want anybody to
See your weak side, you let it stew for a couple of years until one last
Unfortunate thing happens and it sets you off and you go crazy
Taking it out on the next poor unfortunate soul you see or worse
You shoot up a place or blow it up
Now some people say that anger is the source of madness and some say fear is
And they are both right without it madness would never be
But don’t pin insanity out as the bad guy as yet because madness is also the source of
Courage, when you do something courageous you think of everybody but yourself
You will do anything to protect that person even if the consequence is
Losing your life, so even though madness is mostly bad it also has some good in it
This may seem more like a thesis paper than a poem to you
But its up to you if you want to use the good side of insanity
Or let the madness consume you and turn you into something
Inhuman.
