One More Poem: On Insanity



Insanity

When you’re crazy
you get to tell the truth,
which is itself a blessing.
If you’re lucky,
you’re crazy enough
not to care or understand
when people tell you the truth,
which is an even better blessing.

Unfortunately, I have
only a mild case of insanity,
and I have seldom been blessed.

  1. I have occasionally....more than occasionally, wished I could be really crazy so I wouldn't feel the pain. I have wondered how much those who are truly insane feel and/or understand. Maybe I should be careful what I wish for?

    1. I suspect we should all be careful what we wish for.
