To be insane
(for me)
is to be ravenous but unsatisfied
by any meat, fruit, vegetable, seed, or nut,
to be a ragged beggar camping
over a mammoth vein of gold,
to be a black sheep long weary of vice
but still out of the fold,
to be as an escaped Southern slave
shaken to the core by every loud noise,
to be a miserly child
counting and hoarding his toys,
to be a barbarian at a posh soiree
longing for love and comraderie,
but devoid of manners and poise.

duddle146over 17 years agoLoneliness and insecurities - never to belong or fit in...is a form of insanity? Well Crafted!
LeBrozover 17 years agoParenthetical statements just seem so out of place in poetry.
Just a quirk of mine, like developing worry lines
At the prolific use of ellipses;
Beyond that it seems
Insanity means never fitting in;
In which case, I suppose,
We are all a bit insane.
