Possibly Insane Poem by Silentpoet Grl

Possibly Insane

Rating: 5.0


lost on this long path of life
been through so much
people have cut me down
i've kept many dark secrets
taken much hurt and pain
left with really no place
struggled to find any hope
searching i found something
writing, i found some comfort
releasing haunting thoughts
spilling the ugly memories
pouring out my mistakes
and stories of heartache.
scared of letting anyone read
finally, sharing, only anonymously
even while claiming i hold no talent
still maybe its all a mistake
some might not understand
or possibly judge and critique
such is a vulnerable thing
to lay out your guilt and shame
now unsure of where to go from here
with mixed reviews received
some leave kind, caring words.
then others who easily say,
you're stupid and possibly insane.
questioning if i should keep writing
i then remember the release it brings-
in that strange and comforting way.
so i have to choose to write
even if people think i'm insane.

Firstly I write for myself, if someone else takes pleasure in my writings then that's a plus.....Insanity to me is when someone rants on about nothing and their words are confused and meaningless. Your words could not be further from this, they have depth, meaning and tell a story.....in every aspect of life there are people that would criticise or do you wrong, be true to yourself and ignore them; they're not worth the consideration..nice poem!

I read your words and they bring me back to my teenage years. I read this poem and it reminded me of the first time i let someone read something of mine. That poem was called M.U.D. You for sure have a talent, I call it our gift. But our gift always comes with its curse. Iol, such is life and life is such. Keep writing as inspiration allows young lady.

Yes you do have to choose to write..and everyone is insane in their own way. What is insanity if not just being ourselves and true. Great!

It's easy for us to destroy the dreams and feelings of others when we have none ourselves... Your poems expose the darker side of life that should not be ignored, life is not all sunshine and rainbows... I am happy that you will keep sharing your work with us... We all possess a little touch if insanity, it's what keeps us from going mad... Wonderful poem...

This poem is beautiful, the reviews of pompous jealous people don't matter, like I said before jealousy envelopes most when reading your poetry, and I shall remind you of this fact all the time. Stay amazing!
