Welcome to my madness

Come-in, welcome to my life

Where anything can happen

Once you get lost in my mind

Welcome to my circus

Where the main attraction varies

Whether by mistake or purposefully

Here you are now, ain’t that scary

Take your time and look around

But please, ignore the clutter

It’s easier for me, I’ve found

If you spread it round’ like butter

Sanity is over-rated

Normal is the status quo

Fight the battle of the fated

Just surrender and let go

Yes, welcome to my madness

I'm awfully glad you came

I've learned you can wash away the drabness

When you give that voice a name

    Your poem sounded like you were at a circus 'the circus of ups and downs of living.

  • Remember that you are the ring leader in your own circus. No one but you gets to run the show! Excellent parable Indiana!
