This is not madness.
Calm down, for this is only fear.
This is fear of the unknown,
fear of someday being on your alone,
fear of what you are,
fear of what you could become,
fear of what will stop you,
and so you choose to run.
This is not madness.
Calm down, for this is rage.
Rage for what has done you so wrong,
rage you kept contained,
rage for the mistakes you made back long,
rage for the inability to make time change.
This is not madness.
Calm down, for this is pain.
pain for others.
pain for you.
pain for the past,
pain when pain isn't through.
This isn't madness.
Calm down, this is joy.
Joy for yourself, not a selfish cold ploy.
Joy for others, even if it seem untrue.
They deserve your joy,
… but so do you …
