What is Sanity?
Each of us have our own versions and justifications for it.
Some people try to put on a control over others and suppress their sanity so that the one's in control feel superior.
And no one wants to talk about it because it's twisted so much that no one cares anymore.

DEPRESSION
I became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity

Blind enough not to see through your lies
Dumb enough not to decipher your cunning deceptions
Flexible not to break from your hard asks
Deaf enough not to perceive your idol gossip
Loud enough not to be distracted from the chatter
Intangible enough so as for your shots to go through
Slow enough not to keep up with your speedy counters
Lazy enough not to wake from the unreal situation
Tired enough to just give up on you for sanityGain in total loss

Cut me... please
I dig the pain
I need to feel alive
Choose your words carefully
There's a lot of crazies
that dwell in the dark
Nice to meet you...

Sometimes, some random thoughts make you very uneasy. One of these thoughts is the thought of losing my best friend. I tear up everytime. This time I put it down in words.
If you have anyone close to you about who you feel like this, do share this with them.
#friendship #sadness #death #depression #sanity #loss #endEnd?
if you die my friend,
my five lovers, my six
brothers, my ten aunts,
my sisters, my mother–
they all together
cannot stop me from
slipping through the
crevices of my sanity
you held together in place
by your mere presence
in the plane of my life
were you to drop off it,
I will embrace a free fall
after you, to catch you,
or to crash with you to
my End– Our End; Together.

Latches
And when darkness crawls through the curls of my lashes,
I hold tight to my bones and close my soul with latches.

Let this year be filled with people's dreams,
Hopes of getting better as humanity,
And living longer with sanity.....

If your values don't match up with your family's you should never sacrifice them.

Compromising your values for blood
Is resigning your sanity to mock brotherhood.

I would rather here in my elysium
Living in metanoia thoughts
And elysian feeling
Euphoria, celestial eunoia
And keep my own company
Rather than have to force to be with you, Beloved
But losing all of my sanity, senses and serene
Because I truly realize
That what is really destined for me
Will always stay and never slip away

Darkest Sanity
The darkness of man
Teeter toters on a razor's edge
Delicately balanced on an apex
Too far off the edge
Leads to the slippery fall
Too far right a depressing slope
Sinking into a most deep sadness
Wallowing, howling, silent cries
Pleads, unheard prayers of comfort
Reminiscing of better days and times
Too far left is the call of madness
Uncontrolled screams and dreams
Hallicutions, imaginary figurines
One voice speaking in your mind
Many voices speaking in your imagination
Slow decent to disconnected reality
The darkness of man on either side
Fighting to keep a stable mind
Working to keep sanity
Through any means

I begin to question my sanity at times wondering if I will ever be able to move on and overcome my mistakes

Shadow
In your shadow I am beaten to my knees, stripped of my sanity... a beast.
As I drown in the scarlet river of your rivals you are the beauty that once was me.
You will never know that...
I became the animal so you could be free.

You Are My Home
Whenever my mind wanders, I find it in your thoughts. -
I hear them talking
The voices in my head
Making subtle comments
She’s not good enough
Not worthy to be this or that
They are all going to leave
And what not
That’s how I lost it
My mind I mean
In the chaos of trying to get
My mind right
Wanting to have my name
Signed,letting them know
I’m sane now
But how
How did I let it come to this

We're All Mad Here
Madness drifts through my veins,
injected by a world
that dismisses my stories
and mocks my dreams.
Reality is a far more fluid concept
than what small minds and petty hearts
are ready to accept.
Memories paint themselves on my skin,
refusing to be ignored;
some days the insanity consumes me,
the opinions of the masses capture my thoughts,
betraying what I know
in favor of a more comfortable truth.
But the pathway inked into my skin
leads me back to solid ground.
Every day is a struggle;
each night a victory.
I've tumbled down this rabbit hole
with no intention of getting out.
There is far too much inside of me,
bubbling away as it scorches my skin,
to ever contemplate keeping in.
Shaking hands create something,
carving a place to simply be,
painting a world with jagged letters
oozing from my pen,
consuming me as I go.
The path I pave may never see another traveler,
but the option will remain open
for lost souls and open minds
to follow my trail
and journey to wonderland.

I LOST MY MIND, NOT MY LIFE
I'm insane
Someone who lost identity
in a split of second
I laugh, I cry
but, the tears I shed
no longer wet your heart
neither my blood
since I completely lost it
_ my dreams, love and dignity
I'm insane
A prisoner without a crime
if my existence doesn't count
I scream, I weep
but, the noise I make
no longer shakes your heart
neither my silence
since you ruthlessly stole them
_ my opinions, thoughts and emotions
I'm insane
A soul who lost meaning
in a few mental breakdowns
I listen, I see
but, the words I utter
no longer excite your heart
neither my poems
since you carelessly threw them out
_ my curiosity, vision and ideas
But, I'm still alive
A man with flesh and blood
I breath I sense and I stumble
in the firmly fettered chains
made of unwritten laws
I dream I love and I get hurt
in the silver key of contempt
I have been locked into
until my deserted heart
faces an untimely demise
within the shock treatments that
penetrates sanity and wisdom

Admit It
The other night during a breakdown I admitted that I knew you weren't real. That I knew that I've been talking to no one this entire time. Not a ghost, absolutely no one.
I've been alone all this time. I must forget and go back into denial. You're still my best friend. -

He is both
My sanity and madness
I never felt incomplete on my own
Yet his presence completes me to the core

My Blood
The last days of September come with uncertainty
Previous cruel calamity claims yet subside
the boisterous wave of the sea is calming
the eternal wait of deceit is ending.
Alas! Behind the cruel smile lies insanity, uncertainty.
Guard your heart with diligence, for today's cake might be the future's caking; whips of agony.
In the midst of happiness,there is always a brutal danger.
Stop, wait and listen
do you hear it; a deafening silence
when you need them the most, they turn to ghost.
My blood, fight for yourself.

There will be days when you want to stop quit the race
At that very moment you have to run even faster,
They said
There will be days when you want to stop quit the race
And that's ok you don't have to win that battle today
You can always take a rest and try again later,
They said
But how many times do I have to tell you
That there is no competition, contest, rivalry nor battle?
How many times do I have to remind you
That the most important thing in the world is
Not about society standard
But your own sanity and happiness?
Give yourself a hand
Quit the race, leave the rest
Disappear and make yourself happier
