I think I’m insane... Hack off my thumbs make me a beast so only to eat never to feast on life on love all things I can’t taste ruin me quickly take heed make haste Cut off my tongue make me a fire only expressing primitive desire Burning for what I can never achieve choking the air of which I must breathe Rip out my heart make me a hole never to fill with the life you have stole hate envy all things I can taste Ruin me quickly take heed make haste Who am I talking to... I think I’m insane... |

Hey Joe--it takes a little bit of clarity and self-discernment to question the limits of sanity...(or so the voices tell me!  )Enjoyed. |

If only it were so easy to crush our deceiving hearts and to never feel the pain of a love rejected again. Alas, we foolishly fall into the same trap over and over again. I fell into one 15 years ago and still love the big turkey (we even got married and everything!) So I guess for me, I can forgive my thoughtless heart for not freezing over as I so greatly hoped once upon a time. I hope things get better for you with time (trite as that may sound). Mac ps - a little punctuation would go a long way to making this piece a little clearer to read, but maybe that's the point of leaving it out? |

Joe, do you ever listen to Jimmy Buffett? "If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane." I have this feeling you still know how to laugh. If not, just laugh anyway. It will help you clear your mind. And didn't anyone ever tell you what someone told me? Poets and writers are all a bit "off" Happy New Year, Joe. Welcome to the blue paged poetry asylum. |

Thanks for all the comments about this poem. I guess I'm not insane after all. I'm just a little "off" as Midnitesun calls it =) |

You may be insane but you are also a thumbless, tongueless wonder. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
