"Society is cruel to make us believe we are sane, but we all secretly know that deep inside our minds, we are all insane."

Insanity
It is in my blood I can feel its presence When it’s on the verge To emit a surge, every time my heart beats An impulse, Scurrying it’s way through the crevasses of my brain. Tainting the walls of grey matter with a tendency for unpredictability, Out of my reach. I hate it I don’t want it I never asked for this I can’t slow my mind down Thoughts so fast, hit me with whiplash It’s insanity. No. I’m not insane I can’t be I’m rationale I think about how I think about things, Like it’s a cycle that never stops.. Which I guess could be my downfall My vision says it all When thoughts travel my mind In dark tunnels at times My eyes blind to the surroundings Tunnel vision that make you claustrophobic; You feel trapped When all you see at the end of the tunnel, Is the darkness of insanity But.. I’m rationale I acknowledge I have a tendency to be blind to my surroundings, How can I be blind if I can clearly see? Is life objective or subjective? I just want to understand-- You're stupidWhat was that? Felt like a surge, on the attack An impulse That voice That’s it. Unpredictability That lies, In my brain waiting to be brought to the surface With the surge of an impulse. It’s the insanity that taints me, From seeing what really is I’m not stupid, I’m a learner. Granted with the gift of analysis, But darkened by the cruel nature of impulse To taint my minds innocence I'm not scared to think about it anymore I am insane, because it’s what you make of it. Insanity grants me with the gift of perspective, Throwing a million different ones my way Ones that are positive and ones that are new Traveling at hundreds of miles And this even includes All the negative perspectives as well At the times when I don’t want to hear them. Insanity must be embraced and never repressed. Repression tells you no don’t do that, it’s wrong. When insanity isn’t embraced, it is feared. When something that’s inevitable is feared You’re no longer insane, You’ve completely lost it.

In my mind, There lives two wolves. Two distinct voices. Each telling me to make different choices. How am I supposed to know which one to pick? Quite honestly, the stress of it all is making me sick. Is the right answer instilled in us? In our heart and in our brain? Or maybe two voices is all it will take to drive someone like me insane.

Insanity
Those who Dance to the Music are considered Insane by those who cannot Hear it. But are we not all insane? Are we not part of the same life of sound, music and death? Are we not all behind the same wall? We're all insane. It's just that not everyone knows it. Which is why they're staring at me because I'm humming. I'm sure everyone knows they're insane but refuse to admit it. So they stare and judge. Probably. Of course, we're absolutely mental. We're mad. All the best people are. But the really insane ones are those who think they're normal. Yet they send us to mental institutions. Because they honestly don't realize . . . we all have monsters. We stopped running from the ones under our beds, when we realized they were inside of us. We're all monsters. No avoiding it.
