Have You Ever Gone Insane

Have you ever gone Insane?

I remember the space and time
Where my mind liquefied
in-between chains of reality
That I had originally planted within myself
The only problem was that it wasn't watered
Nor ..nourished
It grew in the shaded and jaded filtered pictures of
the Sun's dying rays that I'd labled:
"I've gone insane"

Aside from the screams and voices, bellowing against me
Like the piercing winds that I mistook for comfort
Without permission, Grabbed hold and sunk their bloody claws,
Into ol' sunken me

The blood representing, "My apologies"
I've gone insane.

AND FOR SOMEBODY AS KIND AND SO HUMBLE AS I 
I'd gone insane 
Uncontrollable body and mind
I couldn't let the darkness win
Not this nor, next time..
So I raged 
A war inside of me so painfully scorned and seared 
with tears of the demons I've silenced in order to feel
Sane.
I don't think it would've mattered if I'd caught that rare bounty
Before it manifested, Bounty-less
For I'm not a mere coin in a sunken treasure,
I am the sunken treasure chest

I have gone insane many time. Pack-up and left places. Danced with the Winter storms and drank to the sea. Good to know some madness. I enjoyed the ride in your words dear Angela.
