Robin Davis Poet Rhyme

Life Put Me In a Looney Bin

My life's becoming such a shamble
Every day I try and scramble
To survive and keep sane
But sometimes this crazy game
That I endure never ends
One day it's going to send
Me to a place I get to be
With other people just like me
Who snapped from the daily stress
Making us become a mess
Losing ourselves in our minds
And no ones able to find
A way to pull us out of
The torture that caused enough
Pain for this insanity
We are trapped and can't be free
Lost and never coming back
Our lives are fully intact
Medicine helps keep us calm
So we don't do any harm
In a padded room that's white
Locked away both day and night
Meals cooked--no knives around
In a shocked state we are found
A new life has now begin
Windows letting in the sun
From a world outside where thee
Are others waiting to live here

Allan Koven December 2, 2013 at 3:17 PM Ah, the trouble is that we are a bit crazy. Sometimes it takes over our sanity. Sometimes we just look for better days. Sometimes we pray to understand. Most times we grapple with life. Allan

Kelly Deschler November 26, 2013 at 10:06 PM I feel like I have gone insane many times in my life. But, who doesn't go a little crazy once in awhile? Life just does that to a person! This is a powerful write, Robin. I know many of us can relate to the feelings you expressed here. Really great work!
