"Insane"

People say

Such perfect thingz

But no one knows

The sorrow it bringz



When I lay down

To go to sleep

I think of how

Much I've weeped



I begin to wonder

Why it is

I've had to live

My life like this



How could my life

Be so strange

The love I need

Is out of range



I think of what

People've taken away

And tell myself

"I'll get it back someday"



I see that day

Far in the distance

So far these people

Show no resistance



I can't trust them

I can't believe

So many times

I've been decieved



I wont give in

I wont let go

I'll hold on

To what I know



Some people tell me

"I wish I was you"

Most these people don't know

What I've been through



These people are

So very blind

Because of that

To them, I'm kind



Behind this kindness

Is so much pain

Painfully & Slowly

Im going insane

I have to say, this poem is really really good. It has a nice touch at the end, my only critique is run the first stanza through a spell check. You are using 'z' instead of 's' in some words...Its fine for online chatting, but poetry is much more classy. Anyways keep up the great work. This poem is brilliant!!

The curiosity of the human mind is what makes life interesting. But its also this that kills us all, curiosity leads to insanity for ignorance is bliss.
Because who can be sane when they understand life?

...Sorry I sometimes ramble on about things, but it has a good point.
