Sane × Insane

Why do you expect so much good in other people

Why do you pray so much under every steeple

How can you be ok to be disappointed all the time

And hurt yourself with so much hope inside

You’ll never learn your lesson if you try to be blind

To The bad side of people you try to hide

And let them inside your heart again

Is it a crime to let them cause you so much pain

To the point where you’ll do anything just to keep you sane

So when the right time comes and you lose all your patience

The mirror will tell you that:

Fuck you for doing this to yourself

And fuck you for being kind to everybody else

bad day   bad karma   good life   poetry   sad poems   sad poetry   Self   self reflection   self-destruction   sane   insane
