I Compare Myself : Dark Poetry

written by Poet : Joseph


I compare myself to the man on the street

Who yells gibberish at the top of his lungs.

He believes that what he says makes sense.

He believes he is sane.

 

Am I like this man?

Do people point and laugh at me

Behind my back,

Saying that I am crazy?

Saying that I should be locked up

In a mental institution,

Instead of on the streets?

 

Perhaps I only have dillusions of sanity.

Perhaps I am truly the one who is insane,

And this man screaming in the streets

Spews perfect logic from his mouth,

But in my own little world

All I hear are the ramblings

Of a crazed old man.
