Write a story or poem about madness.
Most of us have nearly gone mad at some point, write something about madness, whether it be about a friends madness, about madness in general, or your own.

Madly in love

They said your mad

Perhaps they meant

Your state of frenzied activity

Dashing from one day to the next

Forgetting yourself in days left behind

I pick up the pieces of you

Scattered life

Placing the pieces in the most poetic way

You passionately express the injustices

I feel you so deeply

I can’t help but understand

Even if you feel I expect too much

You expect far too less

The disorder couldn’t be categorized

As something of mental understanding

More so as constant cloud over head

Threatening to rain on your parade

Being wet never bothered me

If it meant seeing you shine

So your mad

Fired up over someone’s foolishness

We all hate looking in the mirror

That’s not to say your not brilliant

Ever so clever in your own way

Overflowing with potential

Yet you let the lifestyle discredit you

Idiocy at its finest

Being taught by false prophets,

With low self esteems

Constantly tainting what success is

With visions of temptation

Your final breath taken standing on concrete

Just another causality taken by the game

You are not the same

I could watch anyone else

Sign there life away

For fortune and fame

I Refuse to let you

Walk away from your future

Even if it means

Suffering through the pain

Even if the outcome was the same

My mind will always be the same

Coaxing you off the ledge

Listening to the ever changing perception

Isn’t behavior an interesting thing ?

I find it the most interesting

Your interactions on a daily basis

Speaking with such robust confidence

Your mind may be racing

You don’t even break a sweat

We’re all mad

Our state of being

Is marginal at best

Manic episodes triggered by overwhelming

Amounts of pressure

On the brink of exploding

Until finally

You digress into an eerie calmness

Sleep a distant relative

Slowly and Defiantly your eyes close

I tuck you in whispering love in your ear

Another day finished
