#sanity poems on Hello Poetry

Alan S Bailey Oct 2015

Live in the dark, sharpen the steel,
Play the charade, mould of grey clay,
The bump in the night fills you with fright,
Indulgence in the air? Make the "sinful" care.
Vacuum the world, the big flag unfurled,
Bump in the night, neighbour takes flight,
Pollution in the air? No one seems to care.
Slow work to get by, free lunch for the fat guy,
Masterful touch, the poor "lazy guy's" on the crutch,
A place they can afford to stay if you think they're OK.

Overrun

I will continue to write
Until the day that I fall
Fall into the ground
Or let my thoughts overrun me.
The day will eventually come
When I can't get them out quick enough
My mind runs out of space
As it overloads and explodes
and rips apart my sanity
The pieces fall down
Leaving my memories on the ground.

i can't think of one

I am drunk as ****
just half past twelve
every soul is asleep
and I'm talking to myself
and yet these lonely lips
scream "why!" into the void
all these ****** vague voices
leave my sanity destroyed.

captivity

I am a prisoner
being held captive
in the wrong skin.
I want to put my head
through a brick wall
as i try to become my mother's idea of normal.
No matter how many times
I change myself
I never seem to be there.
I'm running out of sanity,
A different person every **** day.
Switching back and forth
puts my mind in a state
of confusion.
No matter how many times I change,
I stay strange
and looking into my mother's dissapointed
eyes make me ache.
I want to tear open my skin
and step out of my skin bag,
I am tired of feeling this way.

Leave me.

Bury me deep into the Earth
So that no one could find me.
**** my life out dry
Like how you usually do
And leave me.

**Because I deserve it.

la douleur exquise.

the exquisite pain
when I see you holding her
I’ll stay here
because you keep me sane

Lobotomy

Razorwire and landmines, a war inside my head
Losing my grip on reality,driving my insane
Sinking into delusion,obsession with the dead
Tearing myself apart, thriving on the pain
Closer to the edge than ever before
Icarus's wings, watch me soar
Sun in my eyes, dirt in my mouth
A fall from grace, such a disgrace
Icepick to my eye, mallet in your hand
Two taps, a twist and its done
Peace of mind, emotions gone
Now I'm the perfect citizen can't you see
Calm and docile, sheepish as can be
And all it took was a Lobotomy.

Insanity.

sanity*
the only thing that I have
and the only thing that I lost
but insanity has gave
a new life for a beast
it swallowed me whole
and now I crave for it to rule

sanity

I may be insane
Or maybe im just in pain
But I will not strain
To be contained

Your actions will not stain
My choice to stay
In a world in vain
Day by day.
