My sense of sanity

Oh,

How safely guarded do I feel with this implacable anguish?

Since when,

Is pain an ease not an encumbrance?

As I venture to adore my abhorrence of pain,

Any ephemeral spark of effervescence is an intrusion

 


Thus,

Violently do I plead

To not ever rob me of this exuberant lunacy

For I dread what is subsisting in the real life

 


Soundness,

Dare not endeavour to obtrude on this insanity 

For only reality could poison me

 


Hope,

Dare not endeavour to infiltrate into my soul

For only I could be calm with these penetrating whispers intoxicating my mind

 


Sanity,

Dare not endeavour to wake me up 

For i am engulfed in euphoric state of mania

I wrote this piece during summer 2021 when I was overwhelmed with everything and felt like everything was going out of control. I overthink a lot so writing poem is my outlet whenever I am unable to keep my thoughts under control. Hope you guys like it !
