Has anyone seen my sanity?
I’d thought it safe within me
When suddenly I detected
Among the missing, it had defected
What did I do?
Maybe my own fault, wish I knew
But without sanity my days will be ill
Disorder and chaos the hours they’ll fill
What must I do to bring back my sanity?
Certainly a resistance to shout useless profanity
Must keep composure, must stay calm
Retain self-control, no need for alarm
Breathe in breathe out
It’s just anxiety no doubt
My sanity is safe and sound where it’s always been
Sometimes the victim when stress sets in

love this poem. it's filled with sadness, but, man, it's speaking volumes.
Thanks Kevin, occasionally we all have days like this. And in this write, I'd decided to turn it around and throw some humor at it.
that's the spirit.
Cooeee, sanity, where are you?! I'm daft as a brush! lol. Good write AP.
A daft brush? Ok orchi, if you say so.
I dunno how a brush can be daft? Maybe it's Basil Brush! lol
It is probably hanging out with mine somewhere. If you see them first, please send mine home.
Cute poem, AP!
More than likely, all our sanity is just trying to figure out what the hell is going on. ; )
If we really figured it out, it would probably drive us over the edge for sure.
That's a powerful poem!
It's pretty relatable, and flows very well. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Shadow. I appreciate your reading and compliment.
Mine disappears for weeks on in but usually returns.
Returns with inspiration for new writes I bet, right? Thanks Ed.
It's behind you, Oh no its not, oh yes it is, Seriously a great write AP
Behind me laughing. LOL. Thanks Michael.
Congratulations. your sanity is safe and within you. No need for police.
"And why were you arrested sir?", "aah, my sanity left the building, and I got stuck here alone".
Thanks m&m.
Great wr
Thanks Tony.
Welcome
Really great poem, AP! A lighthearted poem, I thought! Maybe except for the last stanza. But you clearly have your sanity and you've put it here in this fabulous poem. Great job!
Thanks Christina. Glad you enjoyed it.
Very good write and so meaningful in so many ways.
Thanks Goldie. Just somedays I turn around and it seems to be missing, then I see it's only playing hide & seek with me.
What is sanity? Never had it, don't miss it! Didn't even know I was supposed to have it.
When you join MPS, you leave sanity at the door!
Love your poem, AP!
Awesome concept Fred. I love it. And thanks for reading and your honest comment.
