Temporary Insanity

In rapid succession
A flurry
Of furry
Random
Matrix
Animals

It is pretty

I may be losing my mind
Momentarily
But mad people don't usually know
Their mental state
I must be a rare sort

Bursts of light and snippets of music
Too much stimulus
Neurons firing everywhere
Take cover

Under a safe mental image
Something amazingly
Warming to the eye
The fumbling of manners
Etiquette
Because I don't know what to do

I should not have tried
Immersed and soaked in it
Knowing the consequences
My mind grows slightly
clearer

Don't waggle your eyebrows
At me
I must apologise
Paranoia is not usually
An issue

Everything seems funny
I am not laughing
At your person
Just the universe
At large

I do believe
This is partly
Not the fault of my
Education
Irony
Since educated people
Behave

But socially
A personality
So taken in
The line between
Self and evolving
Selves
Blurs due to something
You produce

We make hippie jokes
But I believe
In the auras
Magnetism never seemed
So real

I feel better
Are those sour candies
Falling softly
And melting in the sky?

I might need to get my
Head
Checked.
Tick.

Reading this made me think losing one's mind has never been so much fun! I was just so happy because you included two of my favs, animals and candy. I'm thinking, how can this be a bad thing? =)

this is GREAT. I really relate to it, though I'm not sure thats a good thing haha. Melting in the sky.... I likt it. This poem is very ironic and powerful. I love it. keep writing!

A very raw poem. Like a person who was in denial starting to accept it, and hence the short pauses of hesitation. Adding this to my library!
