Insanity

My slip into Insanity
As slow as it may seem
Is like monogamous profanity
Directed right at me...
At times it seems erotic
When I can't feel the pain
Of this self induced narcotic
Which has left me to explain...
Why question reality
To prove I'm not insane
When in fact it's my morality
That will finally choose my name...
This never ending battle
A struggle deep within
Is challenging my psyche
Just to see which side will win...
But who's to say that sanity
Is not its evil twin
When worn like selfish vanity
There’s no difference...why pretend?
