Insanity

Insanity

A Poem by Kelley Quinn

Time slows along with all of my thoughts.

What day is it again?

What were you saying?

Don’t worry about me.

I’m just sitting here watching the leaves grow

And the trees lose their lives.

Don’t worry about me.

Have you ever noticed that people pretend all the time?

You’re not listening to me.

I hold a knife, but you ignore it all.

You pretend, just like the rest.

I rip out these stupid memories.

I rip out the hair on top of my head.

I try to set this glass on top of this table,

But you start laughing and you can’t stop.

I join in, just because it is so hilarious.

Please stop laughing.

Please stop choking.

Please keep breathing.

I can fly.

Watch me, watch me fall.

I won’t.

Don’t worry about me.

I can fly.

I can set this world on fire with my eyes.

Watch this, watch them burn.

I’ll set a match to their smiling faces.

I’ll burn them until only ashes smile up at me.

Were you talking?

Were you caring?

Let me be, I want to fall.

Did I burn you?

Just wait, and you’ll see.

Soon, you’ll have scars,

Just like me.

Just like everyone else.

Isn’t it funny how unique it

Is to be the same?

Didn’t I tell you I’d go crazy?

I warned you.

I didn’t mean to.

It wasn’t my fault.

I’m not me.

I’m not normal.

I’m okay.

Don’t worry about me.

Now push me off this cliff and let me fly down.

Let me plunge into the flames of your memories and

Destroy all of them.

Don’t wait up,

I’m still in hell.
