ImageThere is a madman standing outside,
    His matted hair hanging over his face
And hiding those insane eyes from view
    Behind that curtain hides a place

Of which the sane man knows
    While on his way to work
And their eyes meet revealing
    Depths to lands where weird things lurk

And the line between sanity and
    Insanity is thinner, lesser, blurred,
And where both men live in joy
    Where hopes are spurred

Back into reality. Normality. Ha!
    The sane man knows that his own brain
Of facts, figures, pictures and stories
    Isn't that different from the madman's

And as they look upon each other
    Eye to eye, face to face, brain to brain,
The sane man discovers that the line is thin
    Between him and the insane.

I am 'INSANELY' puzzled as i laugh my ass off at this strange poem you have here. Not sure if you were high, drunk, or just strange like me but this is funny shit you have here.

Wonderful!

Awesome depiction of a single man looking into himself and discovering that he is almost insane, yet the fact that he looks does not mean at times that he recognizes himself thus the insane man has taken over, not knowing weather or not you are who you are is something that everyone should be afraid of.

Lol. Yeah sometimes I make absolutely no sense I guess that’s what happens when you are brain dead at work for so long.

It'll make Sense when I’m writing it but when I’m done with it ill post it then after words I’ll read it and be like WTF was that.

isn't it just about how theres a thin line betweeen sanity and insanity? i dont see how you couldnt get it. it actually reminds me of something one of my friends you to say. She use to ask what is the definition of weird since everyone is weird in their own ways.

I liked this poem, because I am in a line of work where I deal with people with svevere cognitive issues. I often wonder what it is they see when they look at the world, so horribly confused at what reality is or isnt. That line was my favorite.

I'm glad people found it strange because that's kind of the point of the poem, as a sane man discovers there is very little difference between him and the madman. Yeah it's about the thin line between sanity and insanity. Thanks for commenting!

I really liked this. I don't know what it's really about, but it's good. Also, one question: What were you on and where can I get some? :P
