The necessity of Sanity


I will not speak

the words I think.  

This is the key,

to the necessity of sanity.

 
Words unspoken,
 
Yet thoughts full of life; 
 
It all seems surreal, 
 
It doesn't seem right.
 
 
Warm feelings, 
 
but cold thoughts 
 
holding them back,
 
let go, I cannot.
 
 
My lips may never 
 
speak words I do think,
 
and I will keep it inside, 
 
my thoughts beyond unique.
 
 
I can feel it inside. 
 
My heart racing fast, 
 
Have i let my thoughts go? 
 
I must take them back.
 
 
Trapped inside,
 
this vivid bad dream;
 
my spoken words,
 
my feelings surely seen.
 
 
So must I ask, 
 
Don't you hear what I speak?
 
My thoughts are all spoken.
 
I've broken free of sanity.
