Insanity


Insanity, but a definition of life and truth.

This so called "normality" that we strive and long for is but a con performed by master puppeteers.

Live 1984 if you wish but I chose myself.

I choose freedom and ingenuity.

i chose life.

Call me crazy and I laugh.

Call me dumb and I'll ponder.

Call me insane for seeing life through open eyes.

Who says the world has to change as we grow up. That to be an adult you can't dress like a clown, a princess, a knight. Let me skip through the meadows and smell the flowers, feel the sun, drink from the stream. 

Life is defined and barricaded into a box that can't ever contain it all. 

Step out and you aren't normal.

Call me crazy, call me dumb, I will live.
