The Clarity of Insanity

Insanity is the clarity we all refuse to need
It's a fortress
Unbreakable
Impenetrable
Unfathomable
It's called sanity

We are told to think outside of the box
Our mind is herded 
Controlled
If only we knew what treasures the box could hold
We were never in the box
The fortress

Sanity
Our freedom to think
Misguided 
towards mental slavery

If you are in
Sanity
In 
San
In the spiritual plain where your mind is truly free
And the pain of crazy is only in your mind

Even the smartest
And the best dressed
Can detest
How their mind is obsessed
With the singular opinions of the world

Why hate the insane when you are out of sanity’s gift
Why does Sane sound like a saint?
If i am insane
Am I in saint?
The saint?
In the state of mind where i can completely open up to the world

The woke awaken their third eye
But their 4th, 9th and 11th will remain blind

Let the pain of crazy cleans you
While some may call you coocoo
Insanity shows you what you do do
And directs you on what you should do

Break into insanity
Because thinking “outside the box”
Only gifts you vanity
Embrace the kiss of crazy
And dive into the world of insanity.
