I fight for sanity. I know it’s inside my mind

Lurking behind the words that haunt me in reiteration of all kinds

I am pushed into the craziness of a world that colors outside the lines

Of excitement, of passion, of alter ego, and faith sublime

I hunger for sanity. I know it’s there for me to take

During the tumultuous moments, I need to forsake

I will look past this uneasiness to what is beneath the pain

To happiness, to calm, to peacefulness, and deeds to be gained

I crave the sanity. I know it’s within you there

Masked behind the demons that tempt and want to dare

You are propelled to the darkness, fall victim, and become its prey

Create a new boundary and a new hope for tomorrow’s a new day
