Sanity

Sanity

A Poem by RJM

In the confines of 

our mind we create

Sanity


Our own version of 

reality,made for our needs


A sanctuary from the 

madness of the world


Yet within the walls 

of this sanctuary


An all consuming 

darkness lays 

nestled within us


That try as we must 

can never be severed


The seed of madness and of sin

this darkness within us


Nestled within our 

very core

It's amazing is it not? The power of our thoughts. We take it for granted. Our thoughts can lift us up...and they can destroy us. And who said what remains unspoken has no effect on us? I disagree......half-heartedly.

I don't know. Sanity is over-rated. I use to think about the logic of the world. Now I try to live each day with a purpose and try to be happy.
"An all consuming
darkness lays
nestled within us"
We can be consumed by many things. Better to do our best and hope for the best. A strong ending to a poem. Thank you.

ahh very nice - we all have that side - that dark glint in the eye - things are never one dimensional, with the good comes the bad and a multifaceted array of emotions and feelings!!
