Among the mad?
some of us
do go
mad
even after
the booze
& the laughs
the music
& the lights
the prayers
& the meds
all in a world
that seems
to condemn
anything
real
it surprises me
many more
of us
don’t admit
we are
mad
too

i am mad, mad, and pissed off!
let your mad flag fly!!
it might help a few others to start
to pay attention-and get/go mad too 🙂
This poem is quite a gem!
it speak so unflinchingly and directly—it makes me think about how we try to tame madness. Great lines—so well done! Thank you!
Loved how the form strengthened the message.
