Insane vs. Sanity

by EpithetPoet   Mar 30, 2005


Through all the lies we wade through
How do we know we even exist?
That we're just mounds of flesh
Another name upon an endless list?

Everything we are taught to know
Could be the opposite of what we believe
Yet everyone takes this path
Ignorant to if being deceived

Life is how we make it
Choices are always there
But sometimes life screws you
Making the choices cruel and unfair

Those who live in padded cells
Do they know something we dont?
Do they hold the answer to these lies?
Has society quieted them so they wont?

We could be the crazy ones
Locked up in our own minds
Following what the society wants
When we're really lagging behind

Take a look in the mirror
And ask yourself, what do you see?
Am i the insane braindead follower
Or the chained up pleading sanity?

*I didnt really know what category to put this in*

    Good job! Love the words, maybe a more balanced rhythm would do it better.
    But overall, great!
