I've lost my mind to sanity
As depressing as it is, it's true
The one thing I've been proudest of
Was that I was never as sane as you

But now my mind thinks somewhat straight,
And I'm lost without a clue,
Why did this have to happen?
Why did my nightmare come true?

The author's comments:
Every word of this is undeniably true. I'm still somewhat sane (Not for the lack of effort) and it is horribly depressing.
