i lost myself

in sanity,

i found myself

in the most beautiful

insanity.

the strangest madness 

overtook me. 

that madness 

was me. 

the madness 

was the rebellion 

of my own psyche. 

the revolution, the resistance, 

it carried the flame of truth. 

i, the tyrant, 

willingly surrendered 

when they stormed 

my throne room.

i knew this day would come, 

i knew the dam would break. 

i did not fight the waters 

when they swept me away. 

carry me out to sea, 

carry me out to see 

all i’ve forgotten.
