It's A Mad, Mad, Mad World

How the world appears, at times.

Can feel

My head spinning

In a 1001 directions

With nothing to stop it

From rotating off

My body.

As every sigh

Drives me

Ever deeper

Into despair

And hopelessness.

Over the pettiness

We call

Life.

Spurring on

My growing need

To hide away.

In the warmth

And safety

Of my apartment.

As the world goes

In its own crazy direction

Towards madness.

Carrying

Everyone else

Along

For this ride

Into utter insanity.

Well penned. Y'know, we all want to just take to our beds and burrow under the covers some days.

Thank you, Momzilla, but for some, it happens on a too regular basis, like myself.

Wow, this is a great piece! I completely understand this feeling and I think every reader can relate to this in their own sense. Thanks for sharing- well done!

Thank you, Weseveredheads. Just wish, my poems about mental health weren't so relatable to others.

Stop the merry go round. I want off. I feel this poem - I have been at this place, as I read this. Well done.

Thank you, Tammy. It can be, a very scary place, at times.

Some of it is petty, but most of it is grand, sends us whirling off our axis...add a few more mads me thinks, I totally get the utter insanity of it all. :)

Wonder, what Spencer Tracey would say, about this poem, given his movie, of a similar name, Frieda?

[Ghost of Jupiter]

Oh I know this feeling well... You sit back and watch the world spin out of control... Lost in orbit around insanity. I think you captured the need of wanting to escape the craziness of life so well here. Hope you find comfort away from the madness my friend.

Thank you, Kalypso. Like the groundhog, will be poking my head up, once-in-awhile, hoping not to see my shadow.

Wow Therisa - the little refuge that you have created in your home is so well represented here - the rest of the world can go Fish ...lol
This is a lovely little piece.

Thank you, Anto. Will be hiding there, this afternoon.
