I Don't Suffer From Insanity, I Enjoy Every Second of it
August 16, 2012
I love that feeling, that final freedom.
I'm cut off from the world because it pushed me too far.
The world shoved me off a cliff and I finally lost it.
I landed on my back and my collapsed lungs started to bleed.
I got up and started walking.
Nowhere yet. Just away.
Away from all the pain. Away from all the grey.
The last life was boring.
This one, I'm enjoying.
The sweet smell of irony is what feeds my insanity.
I'm not human.
I'm a machine.
But, it's better than before.

hi! this poem seemed so familiar, then i realized it was how ive felt so many times. this subject and feeling has inspired a lot of what i write about. im very glad you wrote this, although it has some errors in my opinion. for example, many of the sentence structures are very similar. you may want to either vary them or use the repetition to your advantage. overall though i liked your piece, and id like to see you expand on the topic and ideas. :)
