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

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

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!
