Blurry Line

How does that line get crossed? That thin line between sanity and insanity What defining moment pushes some over and yet others remain rational? Is it simply a culmination of their lives? Or could it be some deep genetic flaw? Some face so much adversity and pain but manage to retain their minds Others do little but live ordinary lives and, yet, find their line broken… allowing thoughts and words to become unchecked, hateful, confusing, full of lies Perhaps it lays heavily upon those loved ones who take the time to see the pain Those truly devoted ones who wish only to protect and assist Why is it that thin line can be so easily crossed? And why do so many turn away?

Good questions. We are all different and yet, all the same. Different thresholds and breaking points, but we can all break. A blurry line indeed. Well written.
