insanity, usa (killeen,tx)

Sometimes there a shadow in my head
Totally convinced I'm someone else instead
A passage way to another time
Beyond the sun, without a rhyme
Lost in a never ending spiral of my disease
Empty of anyone I've ever wanted to please

Maybe I never was who I thought to be
Insanity runs deep in my family
No one to love and few who care
Deeply into nothing I often stare

Created by the turbulence of the world today
Rehashed and remashed with nothing new to say
A faded shadow of thoughs and dreams
Some with love, and most with screams
Here on the downside I fall once more
Every time I try to leave through the door
Stopped by the whispers of things unsure

Very intense, thought provoking. Written from a mind in a whirl it seemed. I enjoyed it very much. Went back and read some of your others. Great writing

On the outside many appear stable, only a professional would know, I suppose, but then who speaks to them? Somebody has to encourage the 12 years of school that pushes them to edges of pits that no one wants to tread. I think your poem lifts the veil of our own servitude. Our inner self. Very well done.

Sincerely,
Regina
