I think insanity is just the label
thw world puts on those who truly understand-
life, truth, emotion, the cosmos.
I have been called insane-
by my peers, my parents, my doctors-
and perhaps I really am.
I feel seperated from the world mostly-
like a stranger peering in a window-
and I pity those on the opposite side.
Sometimes I despise them with their
arrogance and ignorance and stupidity,
that disgusts me and makes me turn my face.
But mostly I feel great sorrow for those
living in the room I peer into
cause they are contained, I am free.
I suppose I am psycho, crazy, insane,
because I understand everything but,
I cannot write it down ever.
To put it on paper would mean the
caged people could know all too
and join me in my freedom.
So, no, I will keep knowledge for myself,
and continue peering through the window
with my insanity clouded corneas.
But, at least then I can be free.

I agree!  Whenever someone calls me strange, I just smile and say, thank you, and know that they probably wish themselves they could be a little ecentric also!  To be strange, insane, crazy, weird, is to be free!  Yeah!

Prune ye my vines and fig trees,
With care my flowerets tend,
But keep the pathway open,
Your home is at the end."

Thanks for the comments guys.  I am so glad some other people feel the same as me, cause otherwise I might go a little more "insane."
