The only explanation: I’m insane,

I am sure I am positively wrong,

It will definitely happen again.

.

It clawed its way out into this plane,

The possibility after so long,

The only explanation: I’m insane.

.

It didn’t happen: the pen wrote in vain,

Could this have been happening all along?

It will definitely happen again.

.

Violent den too much to comprehend,

Will simply waiting make this pain prolong?

The only explanation: I’m insane.

.

Forgotten misdeeds can’t amend and then…

One after another; I’m not that strong,

It will definitely happen again.

.

Left to ponder the only question… when?

I know now that this is where I belong,

The only explanation: I’m insane,

It will definitely happen again.
