The Fine Lines Of Insane, Above Average
Come On - I've got An Eraser
Insanity rules
I believe it always has
We have mastered the fuel
conceal ourselves, with a mask
*
endure long intervals of sane
once observed by Poe
Such a horrible fate
let the craziness go
*
Release all of societies normal containments
unlock the restraints of their half-wit "restraint - ments
Be who you are, no holds barred your derangement
enjoy what you will, while you are able to claim it
*
The definition of normal, is to conform to a standard
the standard you sell, really raises my dander
Typical, common and out right, ordinary
does not sound like the life, I want chosen for me
*
So, keep your traditional, unremarkable dribble
the run of the mill, routine, basic and simple
I've one life to live and I plan to live - on the edge
because life should scrawled - outside the lines of average

From at least when I was in college, I have opined that sanity is defined as living within the norms. But the norm today is to be different. So, if you're normal, you're crazy & if you're crazy, you'll fit right in.
This was so powerful! I loved it!
There's a fine line between mental health and insanity.
Nicely written. And a great philosophy. 💙 Anneliese
