Brushing Insanity


Brushing insanity feels just like touching the
Hot stove, watching my skin bubble,
Only it burns not outside but in.

Am I losing it? Yes, no… already lost?
I have no answer and that is what
Scares me the most.

Is it that easy to fall apart,
Tear the seam and let go?
Yes and yes.

The solid ground is still there,
But the breeze wafts through a fissure,
 Too small to see.

Suddenly I’m falling
Out of darkness and into a light
That’s hot like fear.

Utterly helpless, I watch
The candle gutter, once, twice,
Before extinguishing without a sound.
