A Madman

A person became a question and then a mystery, A madman.

I see him walking through the streets,

Unaware of all the happenings,

All the feelings,

Carefree from every sin and sinning,

 Unconcerned about getting lost,

Wanderer of his own strange world,

Absorbed so heedless,

Happily reckless,

I’m always afraid of his laugh,

As he makes fun of me and this world,

His thoughtful attraction,

His incomplete sentences,

His useless tears,

His sober face,

His clothes with uncountable patches,

Makes me lose my breath,

As something’s creeping under my skin,

His life with no demand,

His clean existence,

His smile,

Without any regret and expectations,

A madman,

With pure heart and soul,

I see him,

Unaware of every loss and gain,

Living the sickness or heaven inside?

A question,

A wonder,

An unknown silence,

A madman..  .

Nice view of life in the present, tense.

I feel like you admire a madman, or you are just sorry for him, or none of that, just describing.
I like your idea to wrote something like this, it was very enjoyable to read.
I like your choice of words, but i don't like your structure, maybe you had to put some words on the other place, but it's very good overall. I can feel it. Very powerful and deep. Thanks for sharing..Keep it up buddy :D

This is so eerie and lovely in a dark, spooky way. I didn't mind the puncuation, I myself use a lot of puncuation. As I've noticed with you, this read like a story because it was so graphic, but had all the best elements of a poem because of the flow. Good read, awesome.

This is really cool. :) It's eery, but I love it. In a sense, I think we could all identify with your madman. Or at least, I can. The one thing that unites all human beings is a the desire to be individual... to be different. So I reckon most people could see themselves in bits and pieces of your madman.
The description is amazing. Very clear and very strong. The poem doesn't wander off-topic either, which is great.
Keep up the hard work!

i think this poem also talks about unconventional people who does not care about what other people say..you make a good description of them in this poem. good job! :)

This is wonderful, but beware the commas. You don't always have to use a comma at the end of a line, commas and punctuation make pauses between lines. If you don't put some sort of punctuation mark at the end of a line then you can have an on going sentence through 2 or more lines and then once you complete the line-separated sentence you can end it with punctuation.
It was overall a really good read though. Good job and keep it up. :)

For those who don't get caught up in the demands, expectations and regrets of the common man, you'll be labeled a madman...or a saint! This expressed your intent very well!

Wonderful poem. I now see all the people that are called "mad" in a different light of thought. Some may not be mad at all, but living through life in a different way, their own way :)

this reminds of a person i am not sure if he was mad or just his life made him look that way... :)
