Poetry: Sanity

by Sinderella Bathory Todd

Created on: December 17, 2010

IS IT TRUE


Is it true, what they say;

That it is better to be sane?

It's true, I could not say;

For I've always been insane.


Can the sane, lay their heads

upon their pillows,

without waking up dead

surrounded by the devil's angry billows?


Do they not hear the screams

that often torment me

in my most sinister dreams?

Such bliss, I suppose, was not meant for me.


Oh what a life!

To go outside, unafraid of the dark.

Oh what a life;

I have had so far.


But dare I pretend;

for just one tomorrow;

I would not be dead;

so unafraid of my shadow.


Is it true, what they say?

It is true, I can't say.
