Insanity or a need to get out of my head
Sandra Adcock
Insanity or a need to get out of my head
I need to get out of my head.
It seems I made my own bed
where the sheets do not meet. Was it
because of a trauma, the drama inflicted?
medical horrors, mental roars lay in store?
Climb out of the hole, oh, I need a pole.
I thought I caught a way out, instead I rolled
in the hole again. What has caused me
this great wear and tear that I won’t bare?
I stare and glare; inside my head
what is this place, this space I hate?
black with sadness that has no face?
Oh, do desist-- I dare insist
I want a halt, inside these walls
the calls of my insane blank head!
It appears I run down dead-end halls
Simple, the jesters say, but Nay, Nay
I say. What is real, now?
How I wish I could just chill.
Dreamer, wake up. Dreamer, be still!
It’s like being in the Army,
Marching to the beat, “Hup 2, 3…”
On and On and On,
Nowhere can I seem to stop
or go. What has caused so much
pain as to stain my life?
Whine, whine and whine!
I almost want to turn to wine but,
will not let that mind be mine.
Where did I go? Where have I been?
Where am I now? How, oh how
can I get back to now?
Slow down some say,
Forget and rest. I try my best
hoping, praying to find a nest
that offers rest where I can do my best
land on my feet even uphill. I can,
I will, I will stand again
land on my feet. Prayer alone sustains,
Faith promiseth gains
if I can relinquish the dark night past
I know I shall surely be replenished,
Replenished and unvanquished!
