I am trapped inside my mind
and I can understand nothing.
Everything is so strange
full of desires I never had.
Everything is a part of me
even those I don’t recognize;
there are plenty of contradictions,
I can see just madness.
Now I try to get free from my mind,
the result is that I’m free of mind.
I’m still trapped but at least I don’t mind.
There is nothing I can do for my mind
now I’m mad and at least I don’t mind.
Now I see things I didn’t see,
they just float over my head.
I’m sure I lost my reason:
I know less but I realize more.
With a spark of sanity I ask myself:
what does it mean to be insane?
Even if I’m mad
one thing I know:
there’s no one sane in this world
just look at them all
ruining their lives
chasing who is wrong.
