What is it like to be insane


What truly defines us is it our strive for power or our determination to survive?

Or is it simply human nature to go to any length to preserve our own lives.

Even if it means giving up our humanity.The one thing that keeps us sane.

All of their things still make me wonder is it really worth it .

To live by the ideal standards?

Is it better to be unique and in the face of death choose to laugh instead of cower.

Even if you know that all hope is lost. But many say that this would make us far less human.

More of a middle being on the edge of insanity but really that is never the case.

Those of us that fantasise about death and truly consider to find out what it is .

Know exactly what will happen.We will pay for our actions.

We will found and shown to the world as a monster and nothing more.

But what does it truly mean when people say that another has lost their mind.

Is it because instead of waiting to die they stand up and take another's life so they can continue?

Even the most heartless believe what they have done is right.

That to them it was simple to take another's life.Weather they were driven by desire or simple greed.

They still believe it was right even when it was terribly wrong.

Some are driven by the painstaking desire to see blood. To slowly enjoy another person's death. Moment by moment until they are finally dead and that hunger is still their.

Suppressed by either will power or fear. The fear that they will become a monster. Others are simply curious what is feels like to end another person's life to have a sense of control.

Everyone has a different reason.But they all have one thing in common. Each time a person kills another they feel guilt. The most gruesome of emotions.
