Valley Of Sanity

I wrote this poem about the people I see, I feel, I judge, every day. And all I get in the end is insanity, known as sanity now.

Sanity

I’m looking for

in this valley of cogency

in this universe of absurdity

where

people have cold blood

and have locked hearts,

everyone is trying hard to fake

sometimes smile,

sometimes anger,

rage, sickness, love, mercy

so eager to win this race of pretenders,

I’ll never find my grounds

by following these preposterous rulers,

I’ve no mother wit

I look for every letter

I search for proper words,

in this nonsensical world

I try to produce

an obvious tone,

where people are deaf

smiling at my screams

still I’m here

trying to live

managing to breathe,

God!

give me a little credit

if I’m still alive

keeping my heart clean

keeping myself away

from this world’s righteous path

of hunger and thirst of insanity,

everyday

surrounded by thousands of people

crying, smiling, screaming and then laughing,

give me a little credit

If I’m still managing to hold on

waiting for the end

in this valley of sanity

in search of myself

This expression of trying to find yourself and hold on to self amidst all the negativity , absurdity and craziness in this life rings LOUDLY with such truth. A great write!

This is great.

You found me

haha, jokes aside. It was a very well written poem, I enjoyed your use of clever wording, and I am always a fan of poems involving inner struggle. Very well done.

Very deep meaningful write. The internal struggle

[Amna M.]

Wow! Very powerful! I absolutely love it and I can say with strong conviction that all of us feel this way at times, but many choose to ignore these emotions.
Keep going and don't ever stop writing!
