I'M Not Insane Poem by Jennifer Kay

I'M Not Insane



My head is spinning around and around.
i dont know where to turn, or if i'll be found.
i dont know who i am, or if theres a cure,
i seem normal, only looking back in the mirror.
But i'm not okay, i'm not the same.
i know i'm not normal, but i'm not insane.
i cant be, i cant be.
i wont let myself believe.
i'm not insane, i'm not normal,
i'm not okay, i'm going to fall.
i'm falling, i'm failing, i'm nothing.
nothing to you, nothing to me, nothing.
i try to feel, try to feel anything at all.
and so comes the blade, it calls and it calls.
i cut and i slice and i open my skin
and i wince at the pain with a big wide grin.
i can feel the pain, i can taste my blood
sweet silence overcomes as i fall with a thud.
I'm on my knees, and tears fill my eyes
they stream down my cheeks, like liquid crystals of ice.
i dont know why i do this, i'm not okay.
i dont know why, but i'm not insane.

I agree this is a very moving poem. and you are not insane, its easy to go through patches of life where you want to block everything out, make it go away, become numb or block out all feelings, it can be related to, its a darkness that varies in degrees for everyone

this is a very moving poem. It is very graphic, and as I read the words I see the scene play out in mind. I do hope that you realize that you are hurting yourself to feel. I am not going to lecture, I am not goiong to judge, we all have our moments, (that is what we call them) our times of despair, pain, lonleliness, etc.... and everyone deals with things differently.
