Poetry: Madness

by Elizabeth Reeves

Stifled by my own insanity
Why am I like this?
My mind cannot be still a moment
while shaking hands
destroy the inner me
How can this be who I am?
Circles of unfinished destiny
Crawling through an endless space
Searching for hope
A sense of humanity
A wholeness I can never know
Until my inner voice is silenced
and I know peace
