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.

Insanity
It is said that insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results Call me crazy because I will repeatedly repeat and never learn Maybe I don't want to learn because I love the cycle of yes and no and mostly no Even though it kills us both We are insane because we know that it is wrong and that's the way it has to go And yet we try, and don't try again and again And the pen etches into the page the same stanzas The monotony sounds like harmony Because in our insanity we are happier and unhappier than we will ever be I would rather die waiting for change than to be without your sweet disappointment To relent and reclaim my sanity would be a tragedy because I would have to write new stanzas and my pen is too in love with our poetry, to welcome a new subject For the sake of my pen (at risk of her heartbreak) I will reject the cry inside of me to run to reality While the hurricane proves pathetic fallacy outside of our window We breathe lunacy and embrace Insanity

"Don't let madness corrupt you." A wise man once said, but it is impossible not to be corrupted when you're as dark as insanity itself.

Insanity
I love him. I will until the end of time. I feel his hand in mine.... His fingers like ghostly kisses against my palm. He read it once. He told me I would have three children, all with my eyes. Then he whispered under his breath that they wouldn't be his. I told him they would be, but he only hummed in disagreement. He stayed silent about it for years. Yesterday, he held my hand just like he is right now. His fingers lingered on the calloused skin for a moment. He looked surprised, as if he recognized the feeling. I told him I loved him. I said it all of the time and I knew he felt the same, but this time he didn't say it back. He walked away. I woke up this morning to three missed calls: one from his mother, one from the hospital, and one from our mutual best friend. I recognized what those three calls meant. I climbed out of bed and walked to the balcony outside of my three story apartment. I was about to let my tears escape when I felt his hand in mine. I suddenly realized why those three children would never be his. His fingers were ghostly as he traced the lines of my palm.

Ghostly
A picture on the internet told me That I should write every day Because it would make me stronger. It said to write even when I couldn't But if I couldn't then how could I? That’s the problem. If I don’t write every day then I become weaker. The weaker I become, the less I write. How can I write to get stronger when I am already too weak to write? Its like throwing a bird without wings and expecting it to fly. Each time it hits the ground it is closer to dying But it can save itself if it can just fly. But that's the problem! The bird becomes more jaded every day it doesn't fly And the more jaded he is, the less he wants to. How could he possibly save himself If he is already dying? Its like slamming a door in a decaying home. The hinges creak and the wood splinters, It comes closer to falling apart with every motion But the people who use it only use it for their own privacy. That’s the problem. That door creaks and splinters every time it is closed. Keep closing it and there will be no more door, Just an empty space in a wall, Another hallway. There is only one decaying home and only a certain number of doors, Pretty soon they will all fall apart in your hands. It sounds like a metaphor.

Metaphors and Pictures on the Internet
Insults travel trough generations. They embed themselves in our minds, Echoing the same phrase: "You are nothing." Somehow the phantom voices Hurt more than the bruises across our cheeks Because the purple and blue fades over time. Sticks and stones may break my bones But at least they heal. Words are harder to forgive.
