Justice Insanity
I'm Not Insane
"Is This Life?"


Everyday, it's the same old thing -
Parents call to make sure I'm okay
To know that I'm not in the asylum
Never do they plan to see me at all
They want to avoid the son
They're too afraid to admit they think
Has problems that mean I'm insane


~

Is this how life is?
Families wishing to stay separated,
Afraid that they are disease to each other -
That their sight amongst others
May cause a ripple tide of insanity
To boil through us all

Is this how life is supposed to be?
Fear that their definition of normal,
Doesn't actually exist?

There is no normal,
There is no cure!
Shocking the truth out of our bodies,
Digging ice picks through our brain
In hopes we'll fall under their spell
Of the illusion that is humanity?

And what is humanity,
But these beings that call themselves
Humans who do what's good in life?
In what life is making new people
By such horrid means
Called "doing the right thing"?

Is this how life is supposed to be?
Loss of friendships,
Inabilities to be romantically close,
Families separating,
All relationships closing
Simply because we're afraid to admit
That normal doesn't exist?

~

Everyday, it's the same old thing -
Doctor calls to make sure I'm doing fine
To know that I'm alive in his asylum
Never does he plan to see me alone
He wants to avoid the truth that
They're all too afraid to admit to thinking,
This is the problem - not insanity
I've procrastinated too long.
Here's the seventh addition to the book!

The story I had in mind was a call with his mother inspired a rampage from him to yell this down the streets of town until he got taken away - which was his plan because he couldn't deal with society not facing the truth.

In a way, we're all insane, in our own way.
