This is the time for me to break out of the proverbial shell,
I'm almost to the threshold, can you
try to figure out, why I feel I must make
all these mistakes again?
I really don't want to, so I'm trying my
best to stay the course.

As we work forward to what we want to become
things get too wild, you go all crazy,
and the days blur into one.
So we add "maintain sanity" to our to-do list.
That's always a plus, to stay sane,
in an insane world.

I've realized that I don't need this,
but I do it anyway to express myself.
It's not the words placed so casually on the screen,
It's more like the peace of mind it brings.
So if you came here for self-gratification or some
great moral, try again tomorrow, I'll do my best.

Or perhaps I won't. It's getting to be busy
around this place, and I try never to make promises
I can't keep.

I did that once. I regret it now, making promises
I knew might not stay good. And to know that I would
break them on purpose! It gives me a sense of purpose.
I'm not so careless with my hope and my love anymore.
I'm more confident, and a little bit lonely.
But I can manage like I have in the past.

I can manage to keep my sanity.

Sanity in an insane world...makes life a bit hard when you make sense but the world does not. Perhaps it would be easier to slip into insanity, but then...how would you be yourself?

Nice poem, Al
