Sometimes,
Those deemed insane,
Have more,
Than meets the eye.
Once thought mad,
You’re ignored.
Nothing done,
Is taken seriously.
In that moment,
You’re free,
From the wandering eye,
From the judgment,
Of the sane.
It’s as if,
Nothing matters.
All wished,
Can be said,
And overlooked.
All wished,
To be shown,
Can be,
Without fear.
A freedom,
All its own,
Insanity.
