    = Insanity =
    'Insanity'

    Unraveled,
    Fibers quickly fray.
    Darkness dawns,
    I look down
    Holding my rope tight.
    Am I sane?
    I look up,
    And see lies.

    All truth gone,
    I'm losing my grip.
    My eyes close,
    Heart pounding.
    Spinning in circles,
    Fearfully,
    I cry out
    "Where is truth?"

    As I twist,
    The pit below me
    Darkly waits.
    My strength fails
    Feeling it calling.
    Screaming "NO!"
    I let go
    Sanity.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
