How often do you count to 3?

How often do you check if you’re sane

If your words still make sense?

I asked “Define sane?

Could you use it in a sentence?”

Sane is of clear mind

Will uninfluenced, capacity intact

Sane is obedient

To law, to order

To society’s predetermined fate and color

It’s always

Never look thin, never be fat

Don’t be too wealthy, but never be without

You should lead, but have no ego

Be led, but be confident

Defile the system when you must

Don’t look too pretty, but don’t fully let go

Be a girl’s girl and yet have bounderies set close

Never stand in the way of others but always think of yourself

At the end of the day, it isn’t just about you but the good of others

So I ask again, “Define sane”

Am I sane if I live for others?

And does it make me any less if I think of myself?

Is it the appearance or assets

That makes one sane and another lesser?

Would I need to count to 3

To prove adequacy?

Or maybe 5 so all you see is ability?

The thin line between sane or not

So faded and destroyed

At this point, one can’t tell what is sane no more.
