Best Sanity Poems

Don’t leave me here alone with my thoughts
entangled,
ensnared
wedged,
caught

The roaring whispers
the screeching silent shouts

Please stay a while longer
My soul is crying out

Thoughts
they're racing
they're playing
tumbling through my mind

Silence
absconded
misplaced
I cannot find

Peace
be still
I will seek thee
Do not leave

For
jealousy
suspicion
paranoia
disbelief

My thoughts
they lie
they steal
they cheat

corruption
deception
fraud 
dishonesty

Reasoning
 plays coy

Sanity
 has 
 forsaken me?...

Oh God please take these racing thoughts from me,
Please stop the inner turmoil please.
Why do I always feel this way?
What do I have to do, what do I have to say.
Why does my life have to be so hard?
Why do I always have to feel...

Wandering aimlessly through life…
Scars of memories drop like a knife… 
Forks in the road where I always went straight…
Misguided souls who I would frequently debate…
My hands would feel their way into temptation…
While my feet stepped over contemplation…
Endless visions that my eyes drink in…
But always playing...

Howling winds flung me into the sea
waves lashed kelp ropes around me
my belligerence grew when I was seized
anger brewed the tighter they squeezed

With fists raised and teeth clenched
I resisted the harder they wrenched
voice rang out in acrimonious scream 
my face contorted, wild eyes agleam
spittle dribbled...

I took my sanity out for a walk today
And it seemed to slip my mind
We haven't been getting along as of late
And I hate it when it hides

If it were up to me
I'd keep it locked up all the time
With my sanity out running free
There's...

The outside world waiting, 
Full of sublime buildings and parks, 
As she sits upon the dusty sheets of the bed, 
Eyes bloodshot and hurting,
Stomach rumbling, 
Nights spent wide awake, 
Days spent within the confines of a small room.

Her mind has a grip on every part...

my sanity seems to unravel

like frayed shoe-laces on a rainy day

I keep tripping on in the mud

but when I go to tie them

I find myself barefoot

rooted in an unsatiable lust

for something other than reality

a blood-letting of sorts

a scream that dies

before it escapes my throat

my struggle...

REGAINING SANITY

I wake up to the waft of a warm sea breeze,
The rock and roll of waves entice and tease,
The thunderous African sea crashes down,
But beyond this crashing and prancing, 
There is calm,
Where surfers pattern the ocean forming 
A majestic human crown!
We go down to...

When Searching Depths Of Mind Questions Its Own Sanity

Go to the green, green blades of grass
Speak and watch the sunbeams obey
There in the mountain top, a frigid pass
What beast did brave boy David slay.
In rainbow-cast deserts wind swift blows
Its flying roses into an old silver...

Sanity is in fact the default setting
When dust settles
And dawn rises on a new day
Sober minds and eyes
Waking to see what needs being done
The hard and often dirty work of life
And not the wishful wistful dreams
Of hope and change

(11/7/24)...

These feelings inside
I try hard to hide
Suppress all of the hate
Don’t let them see the rage
So full of much pain
No time for life’s games
But I am not the one to blame
For my always being this way

Do not give in
Don’t live like them
Don’t be who you’re...

The Trails of Sanity

Why do I care if the disturber carries on
Why is it I cannot just wait it out, bide my time
Be more mindful, try and bond
Embrace what I don’t understand
Welcome the scorching taste in my mouth
I wait, I watch, and watch and wait
what...

He saw the noble beast collapse in blood and dirt, 
Lashed by the owner’s cruel and ruthless crop
He rushed to cradle its head upon his stained coat, 
And wept with sorrow that choked his broken heart.

He shared the pain of the majestic steed, 
He cursed...

Downloading in my coffee machine
Is sacred sanity peppered peace
Relaxing all the violet vanity
With a powerful cocoa bean

I like the taste and the smell
It really is my aphrodisiac 
I will celebrate will not yell
If you offer it even just black

Beam me up a cup of love
Of...

Discerning Insanity 
By David J Walker

It is in the collective thought
	The safety of a plausible
Fantasy 
The alchemy of
Turning lies into truths 

That makes us the irrational
Passionate beings 
That rule the earth

In the end
	We are who we
Believe we are
With no proof 
That we are not

We are
	For...
