Poetry: Sanity

by John Boos

Created on: September 28, 2009   Last Updated: October 04, 2009

The barren wastelands of our minds
populated by the poetry in our souls
we all are without sanity when looked at from anothers perspective
sanity is only found by normality in others
what we choose to become to transcend the norm and become enlightened
although this makes us crazy are we really

our souls no longer seek the solace found in hiding within the group
our spirits burn bright enough to burn those who forsake change
yet we are the ones without sanity
we must forego change or risk the wrath of the mob
to better our minds means to risk our sanity

but who is truly sane those of us with the strength to break free
or those that dwell in the mindset that there is nothing that can be changed
we who seek the betterment of life
we who have broken our bonds and know that there is infinite possibilities
yet so few strive to experience them
