I am unsure of the nature of my insanity. I don't know whether I shall overcome this, or watch my life come crashing down around me. I don't know where this path will lead. It winds and it turns and it goes over mountains and through valleys and even further down into caves and I am lost. I am so utterly lost and beyond rescue. I hear voices. The say they want to save me. They say they care. I believe them sometimes, but come nightfall all is lost. I have never been so shaken, so scared. I cannot describe this aloneness, this simple singularity. I know there are those that would take my madness. They stand by me, but I am blind. I could hear them, but I am deaf. I can touch them, but I am not convinced of reality. I cannot accept that my life may end in ruin, but will I really have a choice? Will my mind just take over my mind and destroy all I hold dear? I don't know. I just don't know. So, you reading this, remember me please. As I am now while I haven't been consumed by darkness. Take these words and savor them. This is me. I am not yet insane. One day I might be.

A Look Ahead
I am unsure of the nature of my insanity. I don't know whether I shall overcome this, or watch my life come crashing down around me. I don't know where this path will lead. It winds and it turns and it goes over mountains and through valleys and even further down into caves and I am lost. I am so utterly lost and beyond rescue. I hear voices. The say they want to save me. They say they care. I believe them sometimes, but come nightfall all is lost. I have never been so shaken, so scared. I cannot describe this aloneness, this simple singularity. I know there are those that would take my madness. They stand by me, but I am blind. I could hear them, but I am deaf. I can touch them, but I am not convinced of reality. I cannot accept that my life may end in ruin, but will I really have a choice? Will my mind just take over my mind and destroy all I hold dear?
