Insane

Well...... I will admit it.

 I am totally insane.

I just looked up the word.

 And that is exactly what happens.

Inside of my broken brain.

By definition,  

To me those words precisely pertain.

(In a state of mind which prevents normal perception, behavior, and social interaction).

(Seriously mentally ill).

When I read these words,  I get sort of a crazy chill.

The psychiatrist said my only chance at sanity is "Deep" tharapy. 

Because I no longer cooperate with the taking of the pill.

I do not need a pill, I have the love of God, and my own strong will.

And what is it that is insane about me? Is it that,

I openly speak with thoughts from a very unique mind.

That I can be contrary, seriously brash, and simply unkind.

If you cannot accept me, or understand my disability.

If you cannot forgive me, our relationship is really in a bind.

I realize that when I continuosly act this way.

Your love for me will wane.

And I do try to control myself.

From these actions I try to refrain.

But sometimes I  just can`t, after all, I am insane!

No chain can hold back a genuine insanity by a genius of your type.

Insanity seems to be the cost for creativity. We are all here proudly paying the price! Shine on J.D. ?

JD.,
Some of the greatest minds were considered insane largely because people could not understand them. To be outspoken or eccentric can add to a person's attraction. We don't all have to be dull conformists. I am a little crazy too but tend to keep it under wraps. When I read your poetry i see an original mind and not a crazy one.

Thank you for this illuminating poem
Keith
