Ascent into Madness

Yes, I’m mad, but do you not see?

No one else has such clarity

 

Suffering, how can you not know?

You helped the madness really grow

 

‘Til I thought I could not go on

I didn’t think I’d last ‘til dawn

 

But I did, and the next day too

Several years, I’ve made it through

 

I survived and I’ve become strong

What I know, I knew all along

 

I was born my father’s daughter

not meant to be ego fodder

 

My mind is not like all of those

who stay sane within evil’s throes

 

God is with me ev’rywhere I am

leading me to the Promised Land

 

My knowledge becoming more vast

As it grows, learning from my past

 

Philosophy, so very clear

ev’rything equals nothing there

 

I am not as others would think

The way I know is quite unique

 

What does “this” mean?  Quagmired thinking

Loneliness, my heart’s still sinking

 

Braver now, cope and tolerate

changing the course of future fate

 

With someone or no one at all

I’ll always rise up from the fall
