Border Lands
The city of the insane so inviting
i'm in the border lands right now
not crazy but not sane
I'ts a painful place to be
desert lands where the waters of imagination have dried up
I circle the city
knowing if I enter I will be invincible again
my beauty in my mind's eye dazzling
Imagination abounding
insanity wrapping me in it's arms
telling me the lies I want to hear
For now I wander the borders
half insane and painfully aware of it
I prefer the lies to the truth
I wish I could just chuck my meds
enter the city of majic and get lost forever

I'm right there with you. Not here and not there, some place in between. I'm aiming for sanity these days, but it's not the easiest thing in the world. Great poem Crim. Hugs. Indie

Sanity is like a unicorn, same people believe in it,lie to themselves ! few have claimed to have seen it, lie to everyone else! I for one believe nobody! Great job! Loved it

My dear Crim, this piece is profound... You Speak on an inner yearning to be seen, well you do not need to be anything other than yourself to be extraordinary, you are all that and then some. Well done my dear.Glad to see you writing again.

City of Magic

The city of Magic that you speak of can be found within your own self ... through meditation. Might I be so bold to suggest you read the book "Spark of the Divine" by Rajinder Singh" It is available in printed form or as an E-book. My Best Wishes Go With You in your search for your city of magic. Bruce

Planning a trip to majic

Being able to tap into that side of the city makes you who you are.
I like the imagery and symbolism of the two borders meeting representing a clash in your mind.
