Under The Sun Every Day Just Comes & Goes discussion

July's Free-For-All Contest theme is... Sanity/Insanity

Okay here is my entry;

Yoga

So would someone please explain
Am I mad or am I sane?
I just can't seem to grasp this game
If I'm mad is the world to blame?
If I'm sane and the world is not
Then should I leave it and let it rot?
Would some please explain
How to determine if I'm insane?
Some people think I'm mad
While others think I'm sad
So if anyone could tell me please
And put my mind at ease
And tell me am I a madman?
If I'm mad please if you can
Just tell me for I need to know
Right now; Am I sane or no?

Hmmm... I probably should have mentioned this...

Madness


Numb without feeling, I drink down the pain
Silence spills out, like the quiet that follows a rain
Slowly I’m tearing, tear-tearing away
little bit by little bit, coming apart
unable beat it, to keep it at bay

Held captive by the enemy, the enemy inside
You may think I’ve lost it, my mind gone completely
Spinning, spin-spinning slightly faster than most
But more than my mind, it’s my life I hold close

Leaving me here, trapped in my own head
A fate worse than that of ending up dead
All alone I seethe, still painted in your sin
Runaway, run-runaway make your escape
Such is a dangerous game you choose play

But time will give way, as time always does
Now on the outside, that what once was locked in
Set free from these jackets that bind
and soft walls of white they’re in
Chasing, chase-chasing my prey I will find
You’re more savage, more evil than I ever could be
So much uglier than any beast living in me

How I long to Introduce you, to the thing I’ve become
The monster you created to use, just your toy
No longer of need, abandoned tossed aside
Fester, fest-fester emotions grow hot
Still locked in a box, forgotten left to rot

So patiently I’ll wait, just sit bide my time
Worth it, every second each slip of the mind
Ticking, tick-ticking the hours melt away
With the voices building angrier with each passing day

But soon enough I will show you the horrors that await
Then your laughter, laugh-laughter is sure to abate
As your cruel joke comes to a bitter end
moments just moments and then, well…
that’s when the true madness begins

As He Sat, Patiently Waiting

(view spoiler)[The red stains my hands, but I don't mind. Real life has excellent graphics. Why should I mind that?

I wait patiently, the gun in my lap cold against my fingers as I stare at her.

I told her. I really did.

But it's okay. It's all part of the game.

The police arrive and I'm still smiling, watching her, waiting just as patiently. Sometimes it lags. I hate lag. My smile slips a little as I think about how much I hate lag.

They arrest me, holding their guns against me. I know I'm outnumbered. If I let them take me, I can continue with her later. Maybe we'll get to the boss. So I let them arrest me.

We get to the station. A man asks me why I did it. "I got mad," I say. "I wanted to teach her a lesson."

The man frowns, but writes it down.

"But it's okay," I say, continuing.

"She'll just respawn." (hide spoiler)]
