I escaped with my skin though tattered and torn
Yet feeling far less than whole.
Far less like me than when I was born,
A piece of me it seems to have stole.
I ponder this mystery for reason I’ve not,
No finger can I place on the cause.
Giving my attention giving all that I’ve got,
In spite of my inherent flaws.
This feeling I have is an odd one indeed,
There’s nothing I can pinpoint to blame.
My mind the enabler melancholy it feeds,
Insanity is clearly its aim.
For sanity’s sake I must surely let go or suffer the wrath of its grip,
Still deep in my heart I certainly know this only a momentary slip.

This is excellent!
Thank you very much Gilly. I’m feeling a little off today, really for no good reason so I though I would write this in the hopes that I would come back to normal. I think it is working. 🙂
Well said! I like how you mixed in a little anapestic meter with the iambic pentameter. Reminiscent of a limerick!
Well thank you very much, I appreciate that, I very glad that you liked it. 🙂
