Madness
I have chaos in my soul
Sometimes I seem insane
I dance to a unique drum
And I care not to abstain
It’s true I feel a darkness
Pitch black as the night
But as such my sun and stars
Shine ever more the bright
Occasionally its absurdity
And I find I disagree
But it often leads to change
Inasmuch, I can be free
I breathe in my madness
Using it to create
Whatever the medium
I am grateful for my fate
Knowing I see differently
Not a weakness, I believe
Being unlike others
That, I shall not grieve
Sometimes I seem insane
I dance to a unique drum
And I care not to abstain
It’s true I feel a darkness
Pitch black as the night
But as such my sun and stars
Shine ever more the bright
Occasionally its absurdity
And I find I disagree
But it often leads to change
Inasmuch, I can be free
I breathe in my madness
Using it to create
Whatever the medium
I am grateful for my fate
Knowing I see differently
Not a weakness, I believe
Being unlike others
That, I shall not grieve

"Knowing I see differently ..." This is both the gift, and challenge, of creative thinkers/writers. Nice poem; thank you.

It can be a blessing and a curse...But I decide which one, I like the blessing:) Thank you so very much Josh!

fascinating write - I identify with much of the content - I used to think that I did not grieve, turned out I really did, iy was just expressed differently to the bewilderment of others :-)
excellent ink :-)
