Sanity you Are

Good morning dear reader. My excitement crested this morning when Althea gave us a blitz to write. The prompt was 'moments of madness', which is perfect for a blitz. Read this poem quickly, only taking time to take a quick breath when necessary. It's the only way the blitz works.

Sanity you Are

Moments of madness

moments of sanity

sanity paves the way

sanity slips away

away from the ghosts

away with reality

reality sinks in

reality bites

bites of chocolate

bites down hard

hard is easy

hard is this life

life is not reality

life is just a test

test your knowledge

test the spirits

spirits in my soul

spirits are to drink

drink away my troubles

drink to relax

relax with my bestie

relax the overactive mind

mind is clouded by doubt

mind your own business

business is brisk

business is on fire

fire the manager

fire consumes the fuel

fuel your imagination

fuel adds to the fun

fun times ahead

fun is the new crazy

crazy for you

crazy in love

love turns into something

love becomes my muse

muse about my future

muse about regret

regret the choices made

regret the drunken past

past the finish line

past teaches us something

something to dwell on

something to strive for

for this is what we are

for this is who we are

are you my conscience?

are you for real?

real

conscience
