    'Insanity'

    Unraveled,
    Fibers quickly fray.
    Darkness dawns,
    I look down
    Holding my rope tight.
    Am I sane?
    I look up,
    And see lies.

    All truth gone,
    I'm losing my grip.
    My eyes close,
    Heart pounding.
    Spinning in circles,
    Fearfully,
    I cry out
    "Where is truth?"

    As I twist,
    The pit below me
    Darkly waits.
    My strength fails
    Feeling it calling.
    Screaming "NO!"
    I let go
    Sanity.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
