INSANE. by Aaron Ace Cook
What is the definition of insane?
Can someone tell me?
Because I have become lost in this maze; my mind,
And to this maze, I fear there is no end.
Medication can only staunch the voices,
Constantly ringing in my head,
Malicious little voices screaming;
“You’re better off dead!”
Alcohol- oh sweet alcohol; you’re my only friend,
It’s only when I’m intoxicated,
That I can escape from this dread;
Where shit begins to make sense..
What is the definition of insane?
Can someone tell me?
Because I have become lost in this maze; my mind,
And to this maze, there is no endind until I learn how to break out of my own delusional fantasy that can finally start m'y own Ending the beginning.
