I am everywhere

I feel like I'm losing something.
I don't think it's you, (I've given up)
but a part of me.
Some say I've lost creativity...
But I don't think it's that.

I'm battling with insanity.
I'm not winning, (but I won't give up)
but not losing, either.
Some say I should let it conquer me...
But I don't think it's right.


When you hate yourself for who you aren't,
and others hate you for who you are,
Which do you change for?

When you say you're fine,
and others say your crazy...
Which do you believe?


I think I know these answers
But if I am insane...
would it be safe to say so?

It's always safe to say you are insane for that means you aren't. Angst filled poem, don't give up

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Very self-reflective poem. From one insane person to another, I find it best never to ADMIT that you are insane, or else we start to become more of what we say. As for who to become, you can't look at life as what you are not... it is as painful as seeing life as a string of missed opportunities, rather than those taken. I enjoy reading your pieces, they are very... introspective for me.

Thanks Kethry
and SecretWhisper...
I'll keep what you said in mind.
SW... if you were serious about my poetry... I usually post in DarkPoetry... if you're interested at all.
