You'll learn when you're younger

You'll learn when you're younger

Never thought that far-
I'm still living in the past.
Sometimes I stay awake till midnight
to check my horoscope since I'm insecure about my future.
I drink two cups of tea from a pot,
and spill out the other two- cold the next day from singledom.
People give me sharp glares when I think dirty thoughts,
I know some of them can hear me,
I then think of disgustingly perverse things in order to harass them.

I hide behind this snug mask of self confidence,
if only to hide that I'm totally lost, it scares me when people follow.
Taking things from alley walls is fun,
if only to confuse your friends why you took it.
I find I'm never looking up lately,
and when I do now,
I find I'm somewhere completely different than I knew.

Why choose sanity?

Choose sanity when the complacent normalcy of life is complete insanity in its routine unappreciatedness. When insanity is the rage and injustice of this world. And when sanity is the small slice of peace you can only find once.

Deeply revealing poem. I'm impressed by the complete lack of falseness.
