Sanity Undetermined

Here I sit rocking in my chair
                                                             wondering why they put me here.
                                                             Somehow all this does not seem fair.
                                                             They say my mind is not all there.
                                                             The doctors say drugs are the cure.
                                                             How do they know what's in my brain?
                                                             I am not so sure there is a cure.
                                                             What if I am the one who is sane?

So. You do write rhyme? Reminds me of my brother when we were young who would say How do you know you're not dreaming? I would go out of my mind trying to prove I wasn't. Love, joyce

Oh! I can write rhyme and you will often see internal rhyme in my free verse. Thank You! Kim

Yes....who is to judge what is the defining line of sanity? I liked this a lot.

Thank You! This is one of my older poems, but I still love twists in them like stories once in a while.
