Must I live like this every day? Must I stand on the
Broken ground? Must I see what everyone sees? Must I hear my motivation
Slip away? Must I...
Must I be me?

SANITY?? Sanity you scream!
How rude of you to leave me Alone and afraid!
Confused and hopeless I am now as crazy as the mad hatter.
But dear god.
I look more like an Alice. Aha, sanity?!
The Paradox of Insanity
O my worst fear that I wish to expel,
A masterpiece refuse all to accept.
The hidden pain that I so well dispel
i'm mad
about you
crazy
about
because of you
you're pulling me in
into the room
the one
that has no air
the one
that you
let your scent fall over
the one
Dear Sanity,
Why did you go?
You promised me love, success, power, freedom, friendship,
Love.
When the love you promised died
And the shadows crept across my mind
You were there.
I’m going to write you this one last poembut I’m tired of talkingall this emotional shit is exhaustingI’ve written pages and pagesof sensitive outpouringsI wrote you some shitand called it “your poem”
I found myself relapsing last night. Again.
Sadness came about and held my throat with both hands,
and when I stopped sputtering and gasping for sweet air,
self-hatred was registered in my heart
A hundred years alone
By myself
Stuck in my own head
No one to turn to
Animals begin to speaking,
Walls and furniture do too
All these things my mind makes up,
I bellow to the wind hence forth crying out in agony, I call forth to the last remains of my shattered sanity. Asking it to please take this guilt far from me. And never let it cross my path for it will bring back such scornuful misery.
