Insanity


Insanity beckons!
I feel my mind slipping…
I cannot speak of it,
else it will become real!

If I but… ignore it…
in time it may fade -
but forget and be cured!
Or thus speaks my hoping…

In truth, hope is fleeting,
balance precarious;
events may upset it,
and send my life spinning!

In this tempest, I live!
Ever wondering, unsure;
fearing and hoping -
such is my existence!
