I Grew Insane Poem by Srivinay Salian

There was a time, when I was sane
I lived, a mortal, on a human plain
Then it struck me out of nowhere
I ain’t belong here, this ain’t my lair

There was a time, when I was sane
Then world just got so mundane
I cut the cord that chained me
That was when I began to see

World ain’t the place for the sane
Why play the game of joy -n- pain
Why dwell in the circle of bondage
They call it life, I call it cage

Here I am, grounded to my soul
I stand alone, yet feel so whole
They deny me, my reason to be
They shun me, for being me

They tried to mold me as them
What they did led to mayhem
They grew tired, I grew insane
But, there was a time, I was sane
