Temporary

A Poem

By Sydney MaddoxPublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

Insanity and Madness

Float around in my head

They're there when I wake up

And when I go to bed.

I live each day

Trapped in a cage

Of insanity, sadness,

And let's not forget rage.

I wake up wishing for sleep

I got to bed crying

Most days more than others

I feel like dying.

I put cuts on my arms,

So that I know I'm a human being,

The blood that drips down

Tells me my heart is still beating.

One day out of nowhere

I am set free

From the sadness I felt

From the urge from life to flee.

I can feel my heart beating,

I don't have to prove it with a knife

I'm set free from the cage

I have a purpose in life.

So if you feel sad,

Like this weight is too much to carry,

Keep your head up

This is only temporary.
