[bodytext] => Insanity Insanity is just a perspective Behaviour & thoughts you don’t understand Come take a walk through my insanity Relax and take my hand Some call it paranoia But it’s a fear of being judged Some call it manic episodes But it’s just a need to do so much The blackness of depression When you cannot do a thing Is the cerebral filing system Having a spring clean And when the filings done The tasks are all made clear The rush to get them completed Labels me, manically queer Crying for no reason Or no reason that you see A sight, a smell a word I heard That just affected me The empathy with another’s pain Or the beauty in the sky The memory of a missed loved one A million reasons why, I cry, for I cry and I don’t know why, But I, Don’t know all the answers Is sanity the surety of knowing you got it right? Or is getting it wrong the insanity blight If you’re following the rules, you must be ok Whose rules? Your rules? Do they work anyway? Effected by the bigger picture Struggling to cope with the small Seeing acts of the apparently sane Hitting your head against a brick wall The pace that life demands today Means running, but I want to walk Quality, quantity, needs & desires Talk talk talk talk talk Societal expectations Are not the ones for you? Created for the next generation By the one before, who cannot see the world anew! Not in my lifetime, I know it But eventually I’m sure, my faith in mankind demands That the rushing we’re doing today Will calm down and we’ll see the bigger plan Man cannot control the earth Insane to think he can Man cannot control time You get only your allotted lifespan Man takes nothing with him He leaves it all behind To end another’s life, because of a piece of land, that will one day be sand, or in the sea, no longer worth the fee Who’s crazy in the mind? I can’t do as much in winter As I can boosted by summer sun I don’t tick to the same time clock That most of the world is on I struggle to understand things And without understanding cannot play So I play a different game This is insanity, or so they say Life is full of trauma, delights, highs and lows Whether you are mad or not, that’s just how life goes The things that cause the drama The way you deal with it Different strokes for different folks Teetering on the edge of the loony pit It only takes a stumble, a push, a nudge, a jump Because you think you are sane, that’s were I hold my trump XShmokinX [comments] => 2 [counter] => 319 [topic] => 19 [informant] => Shmokin [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => InspirationalPoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
