Locked in an
insane
asylum
they are called crazy by all.
Sitting, sitting, staring;
Ranting about aliens,
watching the toddler
float, floating
in the air in front of them.
On a schedule,
tick, tick, ring
goes the bell.
They believe what
you
or I
will not.
They see the world
the way we
never
will.
"You're delusional,
up is up, not
umop
Wrong is wrong,
not write."
But what if,
not impossibly,
for the
better,
not him
or her is delusional,
but
you
or I?

I was just thinking about how people with mental disorders, specifically psychotic disorders, are deemed delusional. Wouldn't it be interesting if they aren't crazy but that their minds have developed a new sense, so they can see, hear, or know things that we, without the new sense, can't? If that were true, then really we are the delusional ones.
