Insanity

me,

you, 

us.

 


We feel our walls crumbling down

Piece by piece

And we just straighten them

They break,

shatter

 


We don’t know who we are

Thinking

Thoughts

Freedom 

All put behind us

 


We shove them to the back

Not there,

gone

They vanish after time

Or we think

They are still there

Softly humming, “Let us out”

 


We do this to ourselves

Not him,

not her,

not them

Our minds clogged with bigotry and hate 

A need to separate and classify

A desire to be the same

 


Insane

That is what I call us

Insanity runs wild
