Insanity's Lull

Keeping my sanity
when all I hear is lies
backed with an air
of stuffy,arrogant glares
surronded by shame
and unkept hatred

Firing up all cylinders
that keep me on edge
I lose part of myself
to the monster inside
so green with envy
yet flushed in faint red

Scared of the future
because of the past
drowning in self-pity
wallowing in dispair
all because of classless
snide,foolish remarks

Double teamed by reality
and a pychie too bruised
not acknowledging the truth
but falling into their trap
sinking into the ditch
of my demented insanity


I'm taking my own chances to find truth between the lies.
Its kinda like just what it is.

Hey Jill,

Wow…I liked this poem; I liked it a lot in fact, better than the last one I read by you, no offence.  It just seemed like something I could relate more too and I usually like things I can relate to better…

Although, I did feel like the flow in the first and last stanza are a bit stiff some of the words seemed to make it stumble a little and become tongue twisted, if that makes any sense to you?

"Firing up all cylinders
that keep me on edge
I lose part of myself
to the monster inside
so green with envy
yet flushed in faint red "


This part was my favorite! The comparison of cylinders and monsters were awesome. I especially liked the cylinders part, it was so unexpected in this, I don't usually see car parts as an example in poetry... At least not what I read in the teen forum!  

Great job with this poem and thanks a bunch for sharing
