Insanity

I think im insane Every day of not feeling anything Makes me draw lines on my skin I think I’m insane I stare at the ceiling for so long I begin to fall into a black, empty void I think I’m insane One wrong step or word And everyone will hate me forever I think I’m insane I wish there was a step-by-step guide for suicide I might end up writing it myself, for myself I think I’m insane And it’s time for someone to look me in the eyes and say You’re right.

Dear Ann, talk to friends and family and take medical, scientific treatment. This is solvable. Also, hypnotherapy is useful, if conducted by a spiritually advanced medium. If you like, I can introduce you to someone (he’s 70+ years old and dies not charge) who can do this on the phone. Be positive!

I’m a believer of if you have enough sense to question your sanity you are most likely NOT insane. However if you are it is not illegal (unless u do attempt suicide) and there’s always help at the end of a phone or in a person like a therapist friend or even a book. In USA one can dial 988 and people will come who are helpers, not police. I like how you express yourself! Great job

Powerful, disturbing. It is a sad fact that most of us do not want to see the insanity and so we pretend everything is okay. Blessings, Chetta
