How would you say you’re insane?
Is it when you hear voices that don’t exist?
Is it when you see things that other people can’t?
Or is it when you do things that you shouldn’t do?
Basically, when you’re insane, you lose your grasp on reality.
Nothing seems right or wrong, and nothing seems… real.
Other people would say it’s a nice feeling. You don’t have to worry about a thing.
You just have to remember who you are.
Unless, you do forget and you spiral down to your own demise.
So, how would you say you’re insane?
How would I know? Well, let’s just say, I’ve been there.

Hey! First of all I would like to welcome you to YWS and I hope you enjoy it here! I know I sure do! This was an AMAZINGLY written piece and I hope you keep it up! The "I've been there" part gave me the chills! Bravo!
Hi-ya!!!! Love this poem!! Especially the last part "I've been there" Kind of eerie!
Just wanted to say I liked your piece! Nice rythym to it, it flowed smoothly throughout, no little snags I could find. I liked how you repeated the first sectence at the end again, and the last line was a good closing one. I also like the way you're asking questions, and how you word things. It makes it seem as if you're talking from experience, rather than asking because you don't know. I think this is a very personal piece, but also done so that other people can relate to it. It lets the reader feel a connection to the piece. Well done.
