My Words (A collection of poems)

Life VS. Sanity

                                                                          Life VS. Sanity

I am Living

I feel love and hope

I know the joys of going downhill

I know the struggles of an uphill slope

I have experienced fear 

At it's most concentrated state

I know all to well

The strong grip of hate

Many a thing I will never understand

But that is the price of life

And my days are never bland

I move through life 

Dizzy and confused

Between kindness and success

I must choose

I must surrender to fate

And it is never giving

Now I wonder

Is it worth it to be living?

I am Sane

My conscience is clear

I understand all things

I have nothing to fear

My life is quite empty

There are no lessons there

I never had to learn them

But why should I care

I am not driven by emotion

I live quite simply

Because if I'm honest

There are no emotions within me

I have nothing to lose

I have nothing to gain

To tell you the truth

I hate being sane!

Now you must choose

So which will it be?

Will you take the pains of Life?

Or the madness of Sanity?
