The world as WE know it

• Artist: Tsume Rokaro
• Description: I don't know why I even like this poem.....
  
  It was spurred by a friend telling me about a muse. The muse had said something about the world being and insane asylum and well....I ran with it.

I sat in the corner
Screaming out your name.
Claws wrench at my soul,
Holding tight
To the beating in my chest.
This weight upon me,
Crushing like a mace,
Holds me into despair
As my light fades away.
I call out the words,
Intending to draw you home,
To have your love again.
But what is this?!
You turn away
A the words that I say.
How can it be,
That I spoke words of sweet destruction?
Words I knew not to say?
How can it be?
Why me!?
Why me!?
I curl up in the corner,
The jacket cutting me.
The cold, hard floor,
Confirming my insanity.
Once again, I scream your name,
As you fade into my illusions.
I look to the door,
Small window crisscrosses with wire.
They say this is an asylum.
A place to keep the insane from the sane.
Is wanting to be happy insane?
A wickedn grin,
A crooked smile.
This I know.
The world is an asylum,
All people belong.
The sane are the ones,
Who are trapped there at all.
Those of us,
Who embrace nonconformity...
WE ARE FREE!
WE ARE FREE!

Thank you for not writing a crappy cliched love poem. Just for that I give you a 5/5. =D It's also a really good poem.
I would like it if you commented on mine, "My Dear" is one of my poems you could check out.
